Patent ID: 8535531

Claim:
A water treatment system comprising: an inlet in fluid communication with an outlet; and a generally cylindrical halogenated resin bed intermediate the inlet and outlet; wherein the halogenated resin bed comprises an empty bed contact time greater than 1 second, an aspect ratio of less than 0.8, and a fluid velocity of less than 0.5 cm/s; wherein the aspect ratio is calculated according to the following equation: aspect ⁢ ⁢ ratio = L D where L is the length of the halogenated resin bed and D is the diameter of the halogenated resin bed; wherein the fluid velocity is calculated according to the following equation: fluid ⁢ ⁢ velocity = ⁢ F A = ⁢ F 1 4 ⁢ π ⁢ ⁢ D 2 where F is the volumetric flow rate of the water treatment system and A is the cross-sectional area of the halogenated resin bed.
