Abstract
A method of stabilizing virgin ion exchange resin material is provided. The method includes rinsing virgin ion exchange resin material with deoxygenated water, introducing the rinsed virgin ion exchange resin material into a gas impermeable vessel and hermetically sealing the vessel. A vessel containing deoxygenated water and virgin ion exchange resin material is also provided. A method of facilitating water treatment in a site in need thereof by providing the gas impermeable vessel containing virgin ion exchange resin material and residual moisture from deoxygenated water is also provided.
Claims19
A method of stabilizing virgin ion exchange resin material, the method comprising:
- rinsing the virgin ion exchange resin material with deoxygenated water having a dissolved oxygen concentration of less than about 10 ppb and a dissolved nitrogen concentration of less than about 0.1 ppm, to produce a rinsed virgin ion exchange resin material;
- introducing the rinsed virgin ion exchange resin material into a gas impermeable vessel;
- hermetically sealing the vessel;
- and
- storing the rinsed virgin ion exchange resin material with residual deoxygenated water in the hermetically sealed vessel for a predetermined period of time.
A method of facilitating water treatment at a site in need thereof, the method comprising:
- rinsing virgin ion exchange resin material with deoxygenated water having a dissolved oxygen concentration of less than about 10 ppb and a dissolved nitrogen concentration of less than about 0.1 ppm, to produce a rinsed virgin ion exchange resin material;
- introducing the rinsed virgin ion exchange resin material into a gas impermeable vessel;
- hermetically sealing the vessel;
- and
- providing the gas impermeable vessel comprising the rinsed virgin ion exchange resin material and residual moisture to the water treatment site.
