Can some one out there advise on how I can get equipment preferably a cartilage (RO is not an option) that can reduce fluoride levels in water from 3.5mgl to less than 1.5mgl. For water with a flow rate of 20lpm.
Mr. Karani, Adsroption on activated alumina is fairly selective for fluoride ion. Search for a solid phase media to avoid having to add a filtration step after.
We have the adsorbent that could removes the Fluoride in drinking water. it is low cost, effective and span media can be safely dispose as land fill. Check our website: www.asxban.com.sg or contact me at david.kang@asxban.com
Look at any reducing agent. Sodium Thiosulfate is fed proportional to water flow to reduce chloride. Floride and Chloride are in the same family. Sodium Thiosulfate is used by water treatment plants for this purpose. For indistrial processes, sodium sulfite is used, but not for potable. I assume you are talking drinking water: if so, why would you want to remove it. It has a purpose in preventing teeth cavities: and that is a fact. Not something to be discussed, if you are one of the crazy people who are just against floride addition to drinking water, without any knowledge of the facts.
I agree to some extend with what you have indicated , but i beg to differ with you indication that high fluoride levels have beneficial health effects.
The positive fluoride benefits are confined to waters with fluoride less than 1.5mgl.
You may perhaps require to check the WHO guidelines on the same.
Dear Sir, we have a low cost resilient process tested across high Flouride in ground water contamination - please feel free to contract us on hannah@nvhglobal.com
It depends upon the volume. The standard method is activated alumina. Bone char has been used traditionally in small non technical applications. The alumina can be reactivated.
Yes sir, we have a double stage absorption fluoride removal system, which is no R.O, wastes no water and needs no electricity except for pumping the source water into the first tank. Further details can be had from http://www.watsan.in
