How It Works

How It Works

The treatment train follows a classic physical-chemical sequence, specifically optimised for fluoride removal.

01

Abstraction

Raw water with naturally occurring fluoride (well, reservoir or river).

02

Coagulation

Optimised dosing and pH control to fix the fluoride.

03

Flocculation

Controlled floc growth under defined hydraulic conditions.

04

Filtration

Floc separation. Existing or included within the OPEX model.

05

Compliant water

Fluoride below the regulatory limit, with analytical monitoring.

Existing filtration

If the plant already has filtration — sand, multimedia, pressure filters or open gravity filters — that infrastructure is used. We verify its hydraulic capacity and backwash cycle, and integrate the physical-chemical stage upstream.

Included filtration

If there is no filtration, PayPerLiter® includes it within the OPEX model. The equipment is installed, operated and maintained as part of the service, with no capital investment from the client.

Prior validation through Jar Test

Before any implementation, the process is verified in the laboratory with the client's real water. The Jar Test determines the optimum dose, working pH, mixing times and achievable fluoride removal, and estimates sludge production.
