In plants currently using metal salts, the addition of THIOGUARD technical grade magnesium hydroxide can REDUCE OR ELIMINATE METAL SALT DEPENDENCY

Increased regulation of total phosphorus limits are a fact of life, and another challenge for WWT plant operators and engineers. In most treatment plants, metal salts (ferrous/ferric or aluminum) are added for the treatment of phosphates.

Adding THIOGUARD technical grade magnesium hydroxide will:

• Minimize or eliminate the addition of metal salts
• Enhance biological phosphorus uptake in bioreactors
• Reduce the amount of metal-laden sludge
• Increase agricultural phosphate recovery
• Reduce dewatering, handling and transportation costs
• Eliminate the need for expensive plant upgrades
