Abstract

An apparatus and process for treating a fluid by passing the fluid through a bed of particulate material such as an ion exchange resin capable of taking up from the fluid a component to be removed therefrom. Substantially uniform fluid flow distribution across the cross-sectional area of the bed is achieved by employing resins of fine particle size which are maintained in an overpacked condition.
