The NF performance is enhanced through<br />
divalent ions removal (up <strong>to</strong> 50% predemineralization<br />
and higher DS feed for IX<br />
system). The IX step brings it up <strong>to</strong> 90%<br />
with a smaller unit, using less resins, less<br />
water and less chemicals. An RO unit<br />
allows <strong>to</strong> recover process water<br />
