A desalination facility can reduce many contaminants, including fluoride. However, the final result depends on the technology, membranes, operation, initial concentration and subsequent blending. Well-designed reverse osmosis can effectively reduce fluoride; it should not be claimed that it consistently fails.
Complementary treatment
If the main system is operating correctly but residual fluoride does not meet the target, a dedicated polishing stage can be considered instead of replacing the entire facility.
Potential benefits
Preserving assets, minimising modifications, reducing construction requirements and accelerating corrective action where hydraulic and chemical compatibility allows.
Integrating PayPerLiter
The integration point must be determined through water analysis and a review of the facility. The service model may allow the included equipment to be incorporated with no upfront CAPEX for the customer, subject to contractual scope and technical feasibility.
