0000086484 00000 n The water we drink comes mostly from dams and rivers. SE treatment by the hybrid process of MIEX followed by ozonation was evaluated based on the removal of BOIs, OMPs, bio-toxicity and fluorescence, and more information on the inherent correlations between spectrographic indicators, OMPs, and bio-toxicity under the MIEX desorption process was provided. Mergen M, Jarvis P, Jefferson B & Parsons DJ (2006) Impact of continuous MIEX use on downstream water treatment processes. DOC removal efficiency at Lever WTP depends largely on the raw water quality and ranges from 28 % for water of moderated quality to 89 % of significantly deteriorated quality. In the end, almost 200 batches of MIEX® resin were made at CSIRO. MIEX® process was specifically useful in removing the hydrophilic portion of DOC in the secondary effluent, which is the major component in water. The first MIEX® water treatment plant was at Mount Pleasant in South Australia, and it was commissioned in 2001. Afterwards supernatant was decanted into a stirred magnetically cell for the subsequent UF treatment. MIEX resin and its process were developed by the Australian company and research organizations Orica, Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organization, and South Aus-tralianWaterCorporation.ThepatentsonMIEXresinandthe MIEX process were issued in 2001 and 2003, respectively [13††, 14††]. Initially resin losses were very high due to unsatisfactory settler design, but once the settler was re-designed with advice from Dr Nic Booker resin losses dropped to acceptable levels. A novel magnetic ion exchange resin called MIEX Resin is being utilized in potable water treatment, which indicates significant advantages. There are now 37 MIEX® systems operating internationally and a further 8 under construction, at present treating close to 500 megalitres per day of capacity, and an estimated additional 300 megalitres was installed during 2009. CSIRO agreed, and after considerable work to meet production, OHS and personnel requirements the first production batch (D5) was made in February 1997. The MIEX´® DOC resin … In the high reactor, raw water is fed to the base of the reactor vessel and is mixed with the MIEX ® resin and the ion exchange process occurs in a uniformly mixed fluidized bed. it is a batch, not a continuous process, and so harder to monitor and control. When made at small scale, it remained cool, but when made at commercial scale, it became quite hot. [Source: Orica], The MIEX section of the Mt Pleasant plant. The fully assembled regeneration skids have a small footprint allowing for low installation costs. The removal of chloride on MIEX resin is an ion-exchange mechanism. The first two batches, at 15 and 20 litre were fairly successful, though the resin particle size was too small. While GMA is not stable to strong acids and bases, it does have the advantage that many different functional groups could be attached through the reactive epoxy ring. Surprisingly, they asked CSIRO if they could make the required resin – about 20 batches – on the 200 litre scale! In contrast, the secondary effluent A/T ratios remained constant at ∼2.9 across the range of BV treatments (changes were statistically insignificant). The resin and the process of making it had to be scaled up – and this led to some very interesting times! Test batches in the lab with the raw materials showed that the problem lay with the iron oxide pre-mix. The resin consisted of crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol beads, sometimes grafted with acrylates, containing magnetic oxides. to treat the highly coloured Cape waters of South Africa. Orica Watercare refers to these as Dual Stage and Hi Rate. 0000001531 00000 n 0000001372 00000 n Abstract: The new developed ion exchange process SIX presents an advanced solution for a world-wide challenge: How to remove NOM/DOC as a first step in surface water treatment to improve efficiency of downstream processes and to improve water quality. MIEX® is used as a pre-treatment at the start of a conventional water treatment plant. It removed a majority of small molecular … MIEX is an innovative ion exchange resin that cost-effectively removes dissolved organic carbon (DOC), a precursor to disinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking water. The problem was that CSIRO did not have adequate equipment for mixing the magnetic oxide into the resin pre-mix. 0000001949 00000 n CSIRO then went to a local manufacturer – Yorkshire – who made the pre-mix in their larger scale lab equipment.

Magnetic ion exchange (MIEX®) resin can remove a majority of hydrophilic compounds and a significant amount of hydrophobic compounds from biologically treated secondary effluent within a short contact time of 20 min. D5 was a disaster: it set into one solid lump in the 200 litre reactor. MIEX® is an innovative process technology developed by Orica Watercare in conjunction with two leading research organisations: CSIRO Division of Molecular Science and South Australia Water Corporation. The MIEX® Treatment Process The MIEX® Treatment Process is an advanced ion exchange process that uses MIEX® Resin to remove target contaminants from water and wastewater streams. This work attracted the attention of ICI Australia (now Orica), and they and the CSIRO continued to work on this technology for many years, culminating in two plants, at Osbourne in SA and Mirabooka in WA. MIEX® Background. Orica then contracted with SA Water to install the MIEX® process into a new water treatment plant to be built at Mount Pleasant in the Adelaide Hills. Raw water from the inlet main enters at the bottom of the contactor and comes into contact with the MIEX Resin. We had successfully scaled up the resin synthesis by a factor of almost 1 000 by September 1995 – or so we thought. As Mat Ballard recalled: The first steps up to 1.2 litre and then 2.0 litre were successful, but were as far as we could go in the lab. Instead, he focused on creating a resin that had adequate performance at reasonable cost. [Source: Mat Ballard, CSIRO], Lab-scale ion exchange. MIEX Resin Treatment Alum Coagulation Clarification Raw Water Filtration Product Water Pre-chlorine Alum Figure 4: Wanneroo GWTP Process, including MIEX® Plant The results from Trial 2 showed that greater than 75% DOC and 90% NSRS removal could be consistently achieved when the resin process was used in conjunction with conventional or In conventional ion exchange the plastic beads are packed into a large steel or plastic column and impure water forced through under pressure to produce water of higher quality. A detailed description of the process can be found by opening the PDF in the Sources below. To make it suitable for drinking, water must be treated so that the suspended matter is removed by flocculation using alum or iron salts and any pathogens killed by disinfection with chlorine or ozone. In the high reactor, raw water is fed to the base of the reactor vessel and is mixed with the MIEX ® resin and the ion exchange process occurs in a uniformly mixed fluidized bed. A full-scale (110 ML/d) potable water treatment plant (WTP) based on the MIEX process, an innovative new process based on a strong base anion-exchange resin with magnetic properties, has been operating in Perth Western Australia since 2001. The 99.9% recovery figure is based on the resin mass leaving the MIEX process in the treated water stream. At the chosen doses of treatment materials, bulk NOM removal remained the same (< 10% difference in dissolved organic carbon after treatment with activated carbon versus MIEX); compared with the powdered activated carbon, however, MIEX … Keywords: MIEX®DOC; Ultrafiltration; Natural organic matter; Integrated process 1. These process advantages will be achieved at the Wanneroo groundwater treatment plant by constructing the MIEX plant at the head of the treatment stream. 0000001197 00000 n MIEX resin and its process were developed by the Australian company and research organizations Orica, Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organization, and South Australian Water Corporation. 0000003986 00000 n MIEX® Treatment Systems have small footprints, very low waste volumes and are not subject to chromatographic peaking, allowing ion to exchange be used in a wide the large clumps also mean that the primary resin beads can be made an order of magnitude smaller than conventional resin beads, and hence absorb ions from solution many times faster. This process is operating at full scale on various plants in Australia, USA, Europe and being tested in other regions around the world. 0000006689 00000 n The MIEX® resin process uses mixed tanks for contacting resin with water. Placement of MIEX® Resin Technology in the Treatment Train The MIEX® resin technology was tested using raw water as the first step in the overall water treatment process. The MIEX process proposed at Tarbert is based around using MIEX Resin developed by MIEX UK. Subsequently, the exhausted MIEX was regenerated with a 10% w/w NaCl solution. The advantages of magnetic ion exchange are: Magnetic ion exchange has a long history. The MIEX® Resin Process The process for DOC removal based on the MIEX® resin includes resin contacting with water, resin separation and recycle, and resin regeneration. To make it suitable for drinking, water must be treated so that the suspended matter is removed, and any pathogens killed by disinfection with chlorine or ozone. This led to the choice of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) as the backbone of the resin, and maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) as the magnetic oxide. [Source: Robin Müller], Animation of magnetic settling process. MIEX® Treatment Systems have small footprints, very low waste volumes and are not subject to chromatographic peaking, allowing ion exchange to be used in a wide variety of applications and throughputs. MIEX®DOC process revealed to be more efficient in DOC removal than conventional treatment achieving the efficiencies in the range of 61-91 %, lowering disinfection by-products formation potential of the water. MIEX® process as a pre-treatment removed a majority of small molecular weight organic matter (500–1000 Da). The transmittance at the assigned bands was significantly lower for the combinations of coagulation or MIEX with BAC treatment than the standalone processes (Figure 4b), indicating that the sequential treatment process was more effective for removing the organic matter resulting in less deposition of organics on the surface of the MF membrane. 0000003947 00000 n The MIEX® Mini is a packaged ion exchange system that uses MIEX® or MICo® Resins to remove targeted species from water and waste-water streams in low flow applications.

Solution pH exhibited a remarkable impact on the adsorption process and the absorbed concentrations of the tested antibiotics were obtained around the neutral pH. The process is a pre-treatment incorporating MIEX® DOC resin for the removal of DOC. SA Water: Don Bursill, Mary Drikas, Jim Morran. The MIEX® advanced process, systems and resins were developed over an extended period stretching back to the mid 1980s. The advantages of using the MIEX® resin as a pre-treatment step allows for; ¾ improved final water quality, ¾ reduced THM formation, He then had the insight that a resin like the ICI/CSIRO SIROTHERM® might be able to do the job because it did not require the use of packed columns. Demonstration Model of High Rate MIEX(R) System at 2007 American Waterworks Association Annual Conference, Toronto, Canada. In 1953, Earl C Herkenhoff from American Cyanamid Co patented magnetic ion exchange, in which he incorporated magnetite into a phenolic ion exchange resin, and claimed that the resin could be recovered by magnetic means. Methods: In this study, the uptake of estradiol by a combined magnetic ion exchange resin - ultrafiltration process (MIEX-UF) was investigated. [Source: CSIRO], CSIRO’s 200 litre, 2 storey tall, Process Bay reactor. The resin was then patented, and in later years several variants and processes using it were also patented. the resin can be used in a stirred tank instead of a column, because the particles are dense and will stick magnetically to each other when stirring stops, they form large clumps that settle rapidly. MIEX® process reduces dissolved organic oxygen in groundwater Outbreaks of Dimethyl Trisulphide in the Wanneroo water distribution system in Western Australia resulted in the construction of the world's first large-scale MIEXRegistered water treatment plant. During the 1990s a team of Australian scientists from CSIRO and the company Orica, in collaboration with the South Australian Water Corporation, developed a new way to remove organic materials, from the water supply. The MIEX® process can also be used to significantly reduce treated water color levels from 60% to 95% through the removal of DOC. It can be used in a stirred tank, followed by settling, or (more recently) as a fluidised bed. Two bed volumes of the solution were added into a conical tube with the exhausted resins and stirred for 30, 60, 90 and 120 min. The WTP treats groundwater with magnetic ion exchange (MIEX¨) treatment technology. Resin loss. Therefore, MIEX resin is a promising technology for the removal of chlorite from aqueous solution. What makes MIEX unique is a magnetic component that allows the resin to be used in a continuous … This is a relatively common process used in drinking water treatment for the removal of natural organic matter. 0000002169 00000 n The influence of MIEX® resin dose and membrane cut-off on natural organic matter removal (NOM) efficiency was analyzed. Dissolved organic carbon organic carbon Subject Category: Miscellaneous see more details can be removed effectively as well as chlorite and chlorate using MIEX resin in real water. While there were several routes to a possible resin for DOC removal, Ballard realised that most were not commercially viable due to toxicity or cost of raw materials. Methods: In this study, the uptake of estradiol by a combined magnetic ion exchange resin - ultrafiltration process (MIEX-UF) was investigated. ICI then approached CSIRO in 1992, and convinced them to re-start the work. Customers familiar with the very low waste volumes produced by the MIEX® ion exchange process had suggested that if this advantage could also be applied to nitrate removal applications, it would offer a significant advantage over the alternative treatment options. A much larger plant opened at Wanneroo in Western Australia in 2002 and a small plant at Airey’s Inlet, Victoria in 1997. The MICo® process and MIEX® Plus resin blend that Ixom recommends will depend on your unique treatment needs. Note the narrow piping. A very small amount of resin (5-10 mL settled resin per litre water) is used to exchange organics from water during 15-30 min detention time in a continuous, stirred tank reactor. The next step up was 200 litre: the first two batches were quite poor, with small particle size, and poor magnetic oxide incorporation. Ion exchange is used industrially to purify water to high quality. 0000037228 00000 n Orica then constructed its own $10 million, 300 tonnes per year MIEX® resin manufacturing plant in Melbourne to supply resin to both Australia and the world. The MIEX® process uses a specially designed resin. A further hiccup was encountered when supply of one of the critical raw materials in the pre-mix ceased, and a substitute had to be found rapidly. used in water treatment to remove unwanted contaminants. The MIEX process uses a specially developed magnetised ionic resin to attract the negatively charged dissolved organic carbon (DOC) compounds that can cause colouration in untreated water. School of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Anhui University of Technology, 59 Hudong Road, Maanshan 243002, China. This is a relatively common process used in drinking water … MIEX® resin regeneration equipment is supplied as modular, skid-mounted systems. In the 1980s Prof Don Bursill of South Australia Water demonstrated that if DOC, which is a significant problem for Adelaide, could be removed from raw waters before treatment, there were considerable reductions in both alum and chlorine usage. The treated water was collected for PFAS analysis to evaluate the adsorption efficiency of the pristine resin. 0000002786 00000 n The removal of chloride on MIEX resin is an ion-exchange mechanism. The 99.9% recovery figure is based on the resin mass leaving the MIEX process in the treated water stream. The data were compared with the efficiencies of the conventional unit processes for organics removal at Lever WTP. Central to the system is a micro, strong base, magnetic ion exchange resin, which was specially developed and optimised for DOC removal. For instance, MICo® SOF is an advanced fluidized bed ion exchange treatment process that can achieve softening, DOC and bromide … Mergen M, Jarvis P, Jefferson B & Parsons SA (2006) Impact of MIEX DOC resin pre-treatment on properties of coagulation flocs.. The team involved in the development of the MIEX® process were as follows: The development of the MIEX® process has been recognised by the following awards: We are committed to child safety and to the implementation of Child Safe principles and procedures. Central to the system is a micro, strong base, magnetic ion exchange resin, which was specially developed and optimised for DOC removal. Once production was under control, Orica extended the production run to 40 batches, then extended it again when they won a contract to install MIEX® at the Wanneroo water treatment plant in WA. Reduction of organics at the head of a water treatment plant is critical to lowering operational costs and improving plant performance. Additional modules can easily be added to increase the resin regeneration capacity to accommodate plant expansions. Methods: In this study, the uptake of estradiol by a combined magnetic ion exchange resin - ultrafiltration process (MIEX-UF) was investigated. The MIEX® advanced process, systems and resins were developed over an extended period stretching back to the mid 1980s. Ion-exchange resins are widely used in different separation, purification, and decontamination processes.The most common examples are water softening and water purification.In many cases ion-exchange resins were introduced in such processes as a more flexible alternative to the use of natural or artificial zeolites.Also, ion-exchange resins are highly effective in the biodiesel filtration process. These were used in the next two batches, which were completely successful.

Unlike other MIEX® models, the MIEX® Mini utilizes downflow “in situ” regeneration – but does utilize upflow fluidized treatment and MIEX® resins. In the fluidized bed the magnetic particles are attracted to each other to form large agglomerates that form a stable resin suspension at hydraulic loading rates of up to 20 m/hr. The MIEX process is a novel ion exchange approach specifically developed for the removal of the dissolved organic content (DOC) from water. Process Parameters Optimization of Gallic Acid Removal from Water by MIEX Resin Based on Response Surface Methodology . Resin loss. it was called the MIEX® process, the acronym for magnetic ion exchange. The MIEX® Treatment Process is an advanced ion exchange process that uses MIEX® Resin to remove target contaminants from water and wastewater streams. End-user response animation. Ion exchange is a chemical process in which ions (impurities) in a water solution are adsorbed onto a solid, usually polymer (plastic) bead. CSIRO also discovered that smaller batches were less prone to setting solid. %PDF-1.3 %���� Ixom Watercare and two leading Australian research organizations (Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organization and South Australian Water Corporation) worked together to develop a unique ion exchange process for the removal of DOC from potable water … an ion exchange process used in drinking water treatment. 0000073035 00000 n MIEX®DOC process revealed to be more efficient in DOC removal than conventional treatment achieving the efficiencies in the range of 61-91 %, lowering disinfection by-products formation potential of the water.
