MIEXŽ DOC Resin

Cost effective management of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in potable water is one of the key challenges facing today's water treatment industry. DOC has many detrimental effects on the treatment of drinking water, including:

Reacting with disinfectants, which increases chemical demand and disinfection by-products.
Reacting with coagulants causing slower, less effective flocculation, thereby increasing coagulant demand and resulting coagulant residuals.
Acting as a food source for micro-organisms, resulting in bacterial regrowth in distribution systems.
Interfering with the performance of activated carbon by competing with targeted compounds for active sites, blocking pores and preventing adsorption on internal carbon surfaces.
Reducing the effectiveness of membrane micro-filtration by fouling.

Orica Watercare, in conjunction with two leading Australian research organisations (Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organisation's Division of Molecular Science and South Australian Water Corporation's Australian Water Quality Centre), have developed a simple and revolutionary process that incorporates the MIEXŽ DOC Resin for the removal of dissolved organic carbon from potable water sources.

The MIEXŽ DOC Resin is a patented high capacity ion exchange resin which includes a magnetised component. The combination of this magnetic resin with a unique continuous ion exchange process offers Water Utilities a cost effective and environmentally friendly DOC removal process, capable of achieving new standards in water quality.

The MIEXŽ DOC Resin delivers:

Cost effective removal of Dissolved Organic Carbon.
Reduction in disinfection by-product formation.
Flexible, continuous process.
Significantly reduced coagulant doses and chemical sludge volumes.
Reduction in chlorine demand for disinfection.
Colour reduction.
A reduction in capital required for downstream treatment processes.
