Purified water for fragrance manufacturing at Intiarome
We designed, supplied and commissioned a compact pretreatment and reverse osmosis system for the Intiarome plant in Pifo. It delivers purified water below 10 µS/cm for the plant’s formulation and processes.

High-silica well water for fragrance formulation
The well water had 131 mg/L of dissolved solids, hardness and 61.5 mg/L of silica. The plant needed purified water continuously, with a compact unit.
- High silica61.5 mg/L that can scale the membrane when concentrated.
- HardnessCalcium and magnesium, which also form scale if not controlled.
- Limited spaceThe complete train had to fit in a small area of the plant.
Silica in the reject watermg/L depending on how much water the osmosis recovers
As the water is purified, the remaining silica concentrates in the reject. Above about 120 mg/L at 25 °C it can scale the membrane; that is why the system doses antiscalant before the osmosis.
- 3 m³/daypurified water
- < 10 µS/cmproduct water conductivity
- 5 µmsediment filtration
- 1,000 Lstorage tank
Treatment train: from the well to purified water
Four compact stages: two filters that prepare the water, an antiscalant that protects the membrane and the reverse osmosis.
- Sediment filtrationRetains particles larger than 5 µm with an aluminosilicate media.TurbiMax 101 media
- Activated carbon filtrationRemoves oxidants, organic matter, color, odor and taste.Granular activated carbon
- Antiscalant dosingProtects the membranes from silica and hardness and extends their service life.Grundfos pump and 110 L tank
- Reverse osmosisCompact skid with one membrane, high-pressure pump and cartridge prefilters.3 m³/day, below 10 µS/cm
Installation, start-up and warranty
- Installation, stabilization and commissioning of the system.
- Training of plant staff in daily operation.
- One-year warranty, with spare parts in stock and technical support.
- Skid-mounted controller
- Continuous treated water conductivity
- Flow and pressure at critical points
- Controlled chemical dosing
- Stainless steel frame
