Our engineered and cost-effective solutions are tailored to meet your specific needs and budget.
The standard dosing can be deployed in optional configurations as required by specific sites. Where the units will be deployed in a public space or a site with low security, the system can be fitted with external cladding to prevent damage due to vandalism. Where the system is exposed to extreme hot or cold temperatures as is common with remote sites, the systems can come fitted in an insulated panel.
ACTI-Mag is not categorised as a dangerous chemical and in most jurisdictions does not require bunding. However to reduce the impact of any spills customers can opt to have the unit in a fully bunded enclosure.
WE OFFER A RANGE OF MODELS TO MEET DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS
Flex
A single dosing skid with a capacity of 1,500 or 2,000 litres. Comes in 3 different options of secondary containment; no bund, drip tray (~300 litres) or fully bunded.
Cube
Self contained design for a self-bunded unit, with capacities up to 4,000 litres. Secure, vandal proof, weatherproof, easy to pick and place.
Skid
Same running equipment as the Calix dosing system – Flex, but without the tank. This model can be hooked up to any size – which makes it suitable for customers with different size tanks.
Max
These have large external tank from 5,000 to 12,500 litres in a single tank. Valuable pumps, sensors and controls, stored securely inside a container.
Compact, reliable and innovative
Calix’s standard dosing system is a compact, reliable and innovative system based on years of experience with Magnesium Hydroxide Liquid. The system includes a 2000L conical tank, a peristaltic pump capable of dosing up to 70L of ACTI-Mag per hour, an external recirculation pump to keep the product homogeneous and a water flush line to keep the dosing line clear and reduce build-up. The system can operate in a variety of control modes based on the customers requirements.
These include dosing when the pump station is running, dosing based on daily schedule or continuously varying its dose rate based on inputs from the customers sites. The varying options allow the system to dose the optimal amount of ACTI-Mag for your needs. The standard dosing system is suitable for sites that do not require bunding or additional security. The systems can be easily loaded and unloaded with a forklift.

For larger sites that require additional storage capacity, security or flexibility Calix can provide fully containerised dosing systems. These systems can be based on our standard layout and format or can be custom engineered to your requirements. Storage sizes can range from 600L – 6000L in a fully bunded system. For sites that have an external bund external tanks up to 12,500L can be used. Multiple tanks can used to achieve the capacity requirements of the customers site.
related customer stories
We recommend using ACTI-Mag in our units.
Calix ACTI-Mag lowers chemical consumption and ensures easier use, handling and storage, thus considerably reducing costs. ACTI-Mag offers the following benefits:
- Odour control
- pH adjustment and alkalinity boost
- Fats, oils and greases control
- Phosphate removal
- Biochemical & Chemical Oxygen Demand reduction
- Biogas management
Standard connection requirements
The unit can be integrated into the customers SCADA network through a MODBUS TCP connection directly into the PLC controller.
The units only require a 10amp GPO, and come with a 15m fly lead attached as standard.
A water supply with an installed RPZ Valve with a minimum pressure of 6 bar is required for water flushing.
