Wastewater Ion Exchange (WWIX) Services

Wastewater Ion Exchange (WWIX) Service utilizes ion exchange resin canisters for the removal of dissolved heavy metals from a variety of rinse water and wastewater streams.

Evoqua designs and maintains systems to purify metal finishing rinses, contaminated groundwater, printed circuit board rinses and other metal bearing streams. Through the use of ion exchange resins, we capture and concentrate the heavy metals.

Evoqua delivers removable canisters filled with ion exchange resins selected based on your particular contaminant. The waste stream is processed using the ion exchange media to capture and concentrate the heavy metals. Once the resin capacity is reached, Evoqua field service technicians return to the site to remove the spent ion exchange canisters and deliver fresh canisters. The spent resin is transported to our RCRA-permitted facility, where the resin is regenerated for reuse. All metal bearing regeneration wastes are further processed for metal recovery - nothing goes to landfill.

In addition, we provide complete support services ranging from design to installation and system operation of your wastewater ion exchange system.
