When the Village of Plover, Wisconsin, set out to develop additional water supplies,extensive previous studies established that treatment for nitrate removal would berequired to comply with drinking water regulations because of widespread aquifercontamination. As part of the planning process, alternative nitrate removal technologieswere examined, and anion exchange was selected for the permanent plant. The Villagehad previously installed an ISEP continuous regeneration anion exchange system, butafter a thorough examination of capital and operating issues, selected a moreconventional fixed bed process for the new facility. This provides a unique opportunityfor side-by-side comparisons of the alternative ion exchange technologies (IE) in terms oftechnical issues and requirements, performance, operation, and maintenance. This paperpresents the critical aspects of the decision-making process, and experience informationthat will be extremely useful for other communities who may be faced with similartreatment challenges. Includes tables, figures.
