Note from asker:
IF you know what you are looking for in ENGLISH!! Thank you. |
If it had simply been that easy I would not have asked, but within the context of the above sentence I didn't know if that would be correct!! |
No problem, simply that desalination is not my speciality and there are sooooo many people on here telling us how to do our work that I read it as another criticism and when you are not clear about the technical vocab, that makes it difficult to look for it in English on Google and Spanish sites are often badly translated by automatic translation progs. No offence taken. :-0)) |

remineralization and pH adjustment of of treated water
Remineralisation and pH adjustment
The desalinated water is very corrosive and is "stabilized" to protect downstream pipelines and storages, usually by adding lime or caustic to prevent corrosion of concrete lined surfaces. Liming material is used to adjust pH between 6.8 and 8.1 to meet the potable water specifications, primarily for effective disinfection and for corrosion control.

True. This is HOW you recondition, but they do not say this.

Discussion
El agua osmotizada o el permeado de los módulos de ósmosis inversa debe ser acondicionada para cumplir con ciertas características de calidad, ya que el agua producida tiene un pH ácido y un bajo contenido de carbonatos, lo que la convierte en un producto altamente corrosivo. Esto exige su preparación antes de su distribución y consumo. El pH se ajusta con carbonato de calcio a un valor de 7,7. Adicionalmente, si se requiere, se agrega también fluoruro de sodio e hipoclorito según las regulaciones municipales para uso del agua potable. (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planta_desalinizadora)
