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.
ACTI-Mag is one of the safest, most cost-effective and earth-friendly ways to manage many aspects of wastewater treatment:
Odour and H₂S control
Hydrogen sulphide is present due to anaerobic activity, which favours sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) and results in the generation of a poisonous rotten egg gas called H2S. Unlike other agents, which can be costly, potentially hazardous, and targeted at a single issue, ACTI-Mag offers a safe and cost-effective strategy for managing odour.

Alkalinity & pH adjustment
ACTI-Mag provides more CaCO3 equivalent alkalinity on an equal weight basis when compared to hydrated lime and caustic soda which lowers chemical consumption. Unlike caustic soda, ACTI-Mag is non-hazardous and non-corrosive, and even beneficial to the environment while sodium is a salinity hazard.

Caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) replacement
While ACTI-Mag is typically more expensive than 50% NaOH on a “price per unit” basis, it is significantly less expensive in use – because every 1.0 kg of 50% NaOH can be replaced by 0.6 kgs of 60% Mg(OH)2 to provide the same number of moles of hydroxide (OH-) for pH neutralization.

Fats oils and greases (FOGs) control
Higher concentration of FOG can lead to the formation of fat bergs, scamming, pump blockages, pipe restriction, pipe blockage plus the formation of odour related issues like hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S). ACTI-Mag is a safe and environmentally friendly solution for FOGs in wastewater

Phosphorus removal
Phosphorus – usually in the form of phosphates – has to be treated and reduced from the wastewater in order to meet environmental standards before it is discharged into a local water body, or land irrigation. With a chemistry similar to the antacids used in our human digestive systems, Calix can safely and cost-effectively remove phosphate from municipal and industrial wastewater.

BOD/COD reduction
Reducing BOD means that the sewage will support the growth of less bacteria and therefore the effluent will be better able to infiltrate tight soils. We can help you reduce the organic component from your wastewater streams.
