Abstract
A method of treating water in a water treatment system after a replacement of an ion exchange bed includes introducing water to be treated into the ion exchange bed of the water treatment system to produce treated water, calculating a current exchange daily average flow rate of water through the water treatment system, calculating a cumulative daily average flow rate of water through the water treatment system, and determining an estimated number of days remaining to exhaustion of the ion exchange bed based on the current exchange daily average flow rate and the cumulative daily average flow rate.
Claims10
A system for providing treated water, the system comprising a first water treatment unit disposed at a first site, having:
- a first ion exchange bed having ion exchange media contained therein, and disposed to receive a first water stream to be treated;
- a first flow meter positioned along a first flow path including the first ion exchange bed and configured to measure a first flow rate of the first water stream passing through the first flow path;
- and
- a first controller configured to receive first flow rate data and transmit the first flow rate data to a central server, the central server configured to apply a first weighting factor to the first flow rate data and determine a remaining capacity of the ion exchange media in the first ion exchange bed based on the applied first weighting factor to the first flow rate data and a current capacity of the first ion exchange bed.
