Worldwide demand for water is constantly growing, and the scarcity of suitable water supplies afflicts populations and industries around the globe.

In the environment fluorides occur both naturally as well as due to human activities. In natural waters, concentration of fluoride is low, ranging up to 5 ppm; however certain wastewaters from steel or mining plants have increased fluoride content of up to 80 ppm.

In an effort to increase sustainability while reducing operating costs, many manufacturers address either water or energy consumption, but not both.

Users of reverse osmosis (RO) membrane water systems are burdened with numerous challenges such as optimizing energy consumption, system cleaning and maintenance. Other issues include keeping the RO system operating at peak efficiency, and extending the system life cycle.
