## Overview

 

 

 

Developed by Veolia Water Technologies for drinking water production, Opaline™ combines membrane technologies and activated carbon adsorption in order to remove:

- pesticides,    ![](/sites/g/files/dvc3496/files/styles/default/public/image/2019/03/membrane%20de%CC%81tail_ultrafiltration_Claylane.jpg.webp?itok=gksEfBWm)
- Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
- endocrine disruptors
- micro-organisms,
- turbidity,
- taste and odours.

**Features and Benefits**

***Opaline™ :***

- improves drinking water quality, with regards to safety, organoleptic parameters (taste, odours) and other factors (colour, ...),
- guarantees a high quality potable water,
- constitutes a reliable and safe solution,
- reduces construction costs through a compact design.

***Quality of the produced water:***

- Turbidity < 0,2 NTU
- Pesticides < 0,1 µg/l
- Parasites: 5 log removal
- Bacteria: 5 log removal

**Applications**

Opaline™ is particularly well adapted for the treatment of :

- Ground waters (including karstic waters) contaminated with pesticides and micro-organisms
- Surface waters with low turbidity, contaminated by micro pollutants and micro-organisms, or as polishing.

**References**

Opaline™, as the ultimate solution to secure drinking water production, is already used in 24 plants around the world.

## Applications

 

 

 

**Operating Conditions**

Opaline™ can be implemented in two different ways :

- **Opaline™ S :**  
     Sequential water treatment whereby the activated carbon stage is separate from the membrane filtration stage. Either GAC or PAC activated carbon can be used.
- **Opaline™ C :**  
     The activated carbon stage is combined with immersed membrane filtration. Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) is used in this case.
