A new treatment process for the removal of sulfate by ion exchange and of hardness by chemical additions is proposed. Raw water is passed through a packed bed of a commercially available resin that exchanges bicarbonate for the sulfate in solution and converts noncarbonate hardness to the carbonate form.
