Calix Water Business in North America is IER (www.ierwater.com).
IER offers Magnesium Hydroxide-based products as safe, earth-friendly alternatives to the use of caustic soda for pH neutralization, along with proprietary polymer solids removal technologies.
- Excessive odour in sewage network, causing odour complaints ?
- Heavy build-up of Fogs layers in the network causing severe corrosion ?
- Excess usage of chemicals like lime and alum, & iron salts leading to high maintenance costs ?
- Frequent need for vacuum truck cleaning leading to an increase in maintenance costs ?
Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) in wastewater
Hydrogen sulphide is produced in sewage, due to anaerobic activity which favours sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) and results in the generation of a poisonous rotten egg gas called H2S. ACTI-Mag effectively locks up H2S to prevent release as a gas that produces odour and facilitates corrosion.
HYDROGEN SULPHIDE (H2S) is highly toxic…
At just 0.0047 ppm, your customers will start detecting the characteristic ‘rotten egg’ smell of H2S.
ACTI-MAG NEUTRALISES FASTER
ACTI-Mag has a higher neutralising value per kilo when compared with caustic, while being significantly safer to handle than other traditional alkalis, making it a very safe
and cost competitive option for hydrogen sulphide gas (H2S) control in sewers.
Attractive cost savings
Made with high surface area MgO (200m2 /gm), ACTI-Mag provides excellent neutralisation speed and produces less sludge, making it a much more stable product, which stays as a suspension longer compared to other magnesium hydroxide slurries.
- Low viscosity – flows easily in most dosing systems
- Higher neutralisation potential – less chemical consumption and better usage efficiency
- Reduced sludge – easier disposal (less costs)
- Safe to handle / non hazardous (corrosion free)
- Buffers at pH 9 if overdosed – better stability
