Brief Description
Description : | This technology represents an integrated community-level water treatment system designed to simultaneously remove fluoride and iron from contaminated water sources at a high flow rate of around 10,000 LPH. The system operates through a three-stage purification process, where the first chamber removes precipitated iron, the second stage further eliminates residual iron, and the third stage uses adsorbents for fluoride removal. It ensures treated water meets WHO standards for both fluoride (?1.5 ppm) and iron (?0.3 ppm), making it suitable for large-scale deployment in affected regions.
Key Features: • Integrated system addressing dual contaminants (fluoride and iron) • Three-stage purification process for efficient treatment • High flow rate of approximately 10,000 LPH • Achieves permissible limits for fluoride and iron as per WHO standards • Suitable for large-scale community water supply systems |
