I run a small municipal water plant that has sand filters, ion exchange softeners, and chlorination.
The problem is we have too much ammonia, over 2 parts, which causes problems in disinfection, nitrites, and copper problems. The softeners do not currently remove ammonia. I would like to use ion exchange to remove ammonia rather than going to RO or nanofiltration because of cost. Any ideas on the cheapest, effective alternatives? We only pump at 200 gpm about 8 hours a day. The water after the softeners is also agressive and needs some treatment.
