Features & Benefits
Features
- pH control: the AquaCalco® product range with a pH value of 12.6 has a high neutralization value, which ensures a suitable and correct pH increase.
- Thanks to the increase of the pH, heavy metals can be effectively removed from the wastewater.
- Thanks to the calcium content of the AquaCalco® range, pollutants like sulphates, phosphates and fluorides are precipitated as poorly soluble calcium salts.
- COD reduction by coagulation: the products of the AquaCalco® range promote the coagulation/ flocculation of insoluble organics in water. By removing these organic components in the sludge form, a significant reduction in COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) can be observed.
Benefits
- Safe and easy to handle: the AquaCalco® S and M are considered as non-ADR product and non-corrosive to the skin.
- Unique pH neutralization: one on one replacement of Caustic Soda.
- AquaCalco® is more cost efficient than other pH increasing reagents.
- AquaCalco® improves coagulation while reducing the need for other chemical reagents in physicochemical water treatment.
- No limitation of availability and is produced locally.
Dedicated solutions for your specific needs
A large volume of wastewater is generated in Europe as a result of industrial development and urbanization. Water pollution is specific to each sector. European legislation defines the basic characteristics of water, which apply to surface water and seawater. Wastewater in general must comply with these legal limits set by the local government, taking into account European legislation.
Carmeuse offers the AquaCalco® product range, know-how and services to address specific quality and cost optimization requirements in wastewater treatment. The product range consists of a wide range of dry products (AquaCalco® Q, S), which in many cases require on-site suspension preparation, and ready-to-use suspensions (AquaCalco® M) with different chemical compositions and concentrations.
