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 />
