I have just recently completed my webpage dealing with dry washing using Purolite PD 206 ion exchange resin. http://www.b100wh.com  is my main site with the washing links near the bottom of the page. The results are very encouraging.

 Looks like promising results. Keep us updated.

That is a really nice looking filter set up     I have a barrel of 206 here and have been trying to figure out how to build a filter system.    what kind of flow do you get with it?   gallons per minute?  I am needing to be able to flow 250 gallons per hour and the only ones I have seen to do that are huge in size.  I could build something like you have but add several in parralle to get my flow numbers up.   I have found some fibreglass filter housing like your but twice the internal vollume. What kind of flow pressure do you have?    Thanks   greg

To get that kind od flow 250 GPH, or a little over 4 GPM yoyu are either going to need real large tanks, or 4 sets of tanks that flow 1 GPM. If you use 8 tanks 16"x65" 4 of them in paralle, with the other 4 in series (Lead/lag set up) You will get 4 GPM.  If oyu go with just 2 tanks inKeith lead/lag each tank would need to be about 200 gallons.

I have looked all over the net for tanks like those  where did you get them?       I am interested in trying that system.  

  One other question  what about an updraft system?  My friend thinks if you run 1 gpm threw a updraft filter you will not have to deal with the packing issue of the Purolite in the bottom of the filter. He thinks that if you controll the flow speed up  that you would not have the bed pack down so tight and get  the same filter effect.  

You might want to contact a local water treatment company that does VOC remediation. Legal's, and our tanks were used for VOC,and ion exchange processes. Keith

Ok  I found one of those tanks   $174 to my door.  I'm sure I can find them cheaper  but for now the price was good enough.   9" dia X 48" tall   Let you know how it goes.
