MIEX® RESIN CHARACTERISTICS
•SBA Type 1 IEX Resin – Strong Base Anion
•Small Size – Avg. ~200 µm (range 80-400)
•Acrylic Resin With Iron Oxide
•Magnetized – after manufacture
•Individual Beads Agglomerate Together
•Settles Rapidly – 15-25 m/hr (0.8-1.4 ft/min) when agglomerated
MIEX RESIN SELECTIVITY
• DOC• Chromate• Phosphate• Perchlorate• Sulfate/Sulfide• Carbonate• Bromide• Iodide• Arsenate• Nitrate• Chlorate• Hydroxide• Bromate• Nitrite• Chloride• Bicarbonate• Fluoride

WILL IT WORK FOR ME?
MIEX® Resin Jar Test MIEX® Resin Pilot Treatment Study
Pilot• Long Term• High Cost
Jar Test• Quick• Low Cost
GOAL
This paper will examine MIEX® resin jar test to MIEX® resin high rate pilot treatment study and will illustrate how closely the data correlates.

CONCLUSION
•MIEX® jar tests correlate strongly with both pilot trailer studies and full scale plant performance
•MIEX® bench top jar testing is a reliable means to predict full scale design criteria without spending the large amounts of time and money to run a pilot trailer.
