Abstract
The CARIX ion exchange process has been applied in municipal water treatment for the combined reduction of hardness, nitrate, and sulfate concentrations. The performance of two plants demonstrates that a considerable improvement of water quality is easily achieved. CARIX has proved to be a reliable process which allows a non-polluting partial demineralization of drinking water. Results and costs are discussed in detail.
