Successes
12
The technology works!
BUT
… the filter material needs to be replaced regularly
… limited ability and willingness to pay for fluoride-safe water
by end users
Cost for treatment currently exceeds the revenue
collected from end users

Workshops to explore new operational models:
18
Work with operators/water committees to set up savings scheme,
so they can replace more regularly
Change to a service model: take over replacement in exchange
for % of revenue
Other services: laboratory, consultancy, byproducts
Need to understand costs + volumes
In conjunction with technical approaches:
Reduce filter material production cost
Explore regeneration of filter materials
Explore filter materials with higher uptake capacity

Conclusions
19
• Focus on the service delivery and not only on the technology
• Introduction of HAP production and regeneration
• Improve collection of key data (incl. financial data)
• Conduct market assessment (beneficiaries vs. costumers)
