Abstract:
1. A process for providing regenerated ion exchange resin to a mobile water treatment vehicle comprising the steps of: providing a water treatment vehicle having a water treatment tank containing a quantity spent ion exchange resin and an amount of water sufficient to fill the water treatment tank to a level above a level of the spent ion exchange resin; providing a resin transfer hub having a compressed air system and a water storage tank; providing first and second resin transfer vehicles each having a storage tank for receiving ion exchange resin, wherein the tank of the first resin transfer vehicle is empty and the tank of the second resin transfer vehicle contains a quantity of regenerated ion exchange resin; directing compressed air from the compressed air system of the resin transfer hub into the water treatment tank of the water treatment vehicle to pressurize the water treatment tank with compressed air; transferring the water and the spent ion exchange resin from the water treatment tank of the water treatment vehicle to the storage tank of the first resin transport vehicle with the compressed air; transferring the water in the storage tank of the first resin transport vehicle back to the water storage tank of the resin transfer hub while retaining the spent ion exchange resin in the storage tank of the first resin transport vehicle; and, transferring a quantity of regenerated ion exchange resin from the storage tank of the second resin transport vehicle to the water treatment tank of the water treatment vehicle.
