Continuing the design of the ion exchange column for the Village of Calcite, provide the following for the two-bed system that will operate in parallel with staggered regeneration cycles:

a. Surface loading rate (m3/d · m2 )

b. Height and diameter of the resin bed

c. Empty bed contact time (min)

d. Service flow rate (m3/d · m3 )

e. Height and diameter of the column vessel

f. Pressure drop

Assume the density of the resin is 830 kg/m3 (moist), a resin height less than or equal to 4.0 m, and that 50% expansion of the bed will be used during backwash. The pressure drop across the bed should be less than 140 kPa.
