Groundwater is an important source of drinking water across India. But where uranium is present, conventional water treatment may not be enough to address contamination and meet required drinking-water quality.
For water utilities, communities, and treatment operators dealing with uranium-contaminated groundwater, the challenge is clear: how can uranium levels be reduced reliably while meeting drinking-water requirements?
INDION® USR from Ion Exchange is a targeted ion exchange solution for removing uranium from contaminated groundwater, reducing levels to below 30 ppb and helping meet WHO and IS 10500 drinking-water requirements.
Why Uranium in Groundwater Requires Targeted Treatment?
Uranium contamination cannot be addressed simply by improving the general appearance or clarity of water.
Treatment must specifically target uranium present in the groundwater and consistently reduce its concentration to the required level.
This makes the selection of an appropriate treatment technology critical for drinking-water applications.
How Ion Exchange Resin Removes Uranium?
Ion exchange technology uses specially designed resins to selectively capture targeted ions from water as it passes through the treatment system.
INDION® USR is a uranium-selective resin developed specifically to remove uranium from contaminated groundwater.
Its targeted ion exchange mechanism enables treatment systems to address uranium contamination without relying on a generic water-treatment approach.
Reducing Uranium to Below 30 ppb
For drinking-water applications, treatment performance must ultimately translate into the required outlet-water quality.
INDION® USR reduces uranium levels to below 30 ppb, helping treatment operators achieve water quality aligned with WHO and IS 10500 drinking-water requirements.
Where Uranium Removal Becomes Critical
Where groundwater is being used as a drinking-water source, identifying and treating uranium contamination becomes an important part of water-quality management.
A dedicated uranium-removal solution can help utilities and water-treatment operators address the contaminant directly and improve the reliability of treated-water quality.
INDION® USR for Uranium-Contaminated Groundwater
Ion Exchange's INDION® USR combines targeted ion exchange technology with uranium-selective resin chemistry for groundwater treatment.
For organizations responsible for drinking-water treatment, it provides a focused solution to:
• Remove uranium from contaminated groundwater
• Reduce uranium levels to below 30 ppb
• Help meet WHO drinking-water requirements
• Help meet IS 10500 drinking-water requirements
When the challenge is uranium, treatment needs to be designed specifically around it.
