Waste Water Treatment

Industrial Waste Water​

Industrial waste water presents unique challenges to the cleanliness of natural waterways. Not only must the water itself be treated to a standard that will pose no environmental risk, but the chemicals and processes used to treat it must also be environmentally neutral and sustainable.​

​​ Omya Neutrasorb is a very efficient acid neutralizing non-hazardous, natural fine grinded Calcium Carbonate. It is used in industrial neutralizing applications to replace caustic or lime. It does not form scales an d reduces maintenance costs.

Efficient Neutralization of Industrial Waste Water

Often industrial waste waters are acidic coming with a pH of 2 – 5. Neutralization is therefore an important process step required before other downstream water treatment processes. For biological processes to run stable and efficient the pH after neutralization should be ideally between 6.0 – 8.5.

Omya Neutrasorb allows is a very efficient acid neutralizing chemical based on natural fine grinded Calcium Carbonat.

Benefits:

Omya Neutrasorb has following application benefits over other neutralizing chemicals such as burnt lime or caustic soda:

• Fast neutralization – very stable pH – no overdosing possible
• No clogging and no scaling of silos, slakers and pipes compared when using burnt lime
• Nonhazardous safe chemical reducing the risk profile of the industrial site
• Facilitates safety training and procedures for spills and accidents
• Transport and storage without special safety measures
• Avoidance of sophisticated circle line concepts, valve designs and make-down stations
• Significant reduced downtime and cost due to reduced maintenance requirements

Omya Neutrasorb quickly neutralizes and buffers industrial waste waters.
