Neutral Water Effluent
WAVE provides the option of neutralizing the IX waste stream. This can be activated by clicking on “Required (will over-ride dose inputs)” option in the Neutral Waste Effluent box (see Figure 1). As stated, WAVE would over-ride regenerant dose values to achieve a pH-neutral waste stream.

Notes:
- Neutral Waste Effluent option is only available for IX processes where a cation and anion are involved.
- If the Dose Optimization option is selected (see Dose Optimization), the Neutral Waste Effluent option will not be available.
- In demineralization systems involving a weak/strong couple, the Neutral Waste Effluent option will be available only if the Regenerant Dose is specified as Dose but not as Regeneration Ratio.
