This has been bread and butter research for the team at SLS.  

Like all water treatment processes there are many variables and we could write a lengthy dissertation.   Likewise there are as many different reasons why a process plant might need to do this.

Some of the more important variables after selection of the absorbent are type of bag, shape of bag, position and alignment within the tank.  If these parameters are sensibly addressed within the design engineers task then total surface area of the the resin or carbon is not overly compromised.  

A competent designer of this type of application will understand the differences between adsorbing and absorbing media kinetics and thus how to design for best performance.  When the design does not apply good principles things, such as flow characteristics and solids overloading will compromise the process efficiency.
