Brief Description
Description : | This technology uses solar energy to power electrolytic processes for removing fluoride from water. The system enables defluoridation through electrochemical reactions that reduce fluoride concentration to safe levels. It is particularly suitable for remote and off-grid areas where conventional energy sources are limited, providing a sustainable and energy-efficient solution.
Key Features: • Uses solar energy for powering defluoridation process • Employs electrolytic mechanism for fluoride removal • Suitable for remote and off-grid regions • Energy-efficient and sustainable system • Produces safe drinking water in fluoride-affected areas |
