AMALGAM has a higher neutralising value per pound when compared with caustic whilst being significantly safer to handle than other traditional alkalis, making it a very safe and cost competitive option.
Find out moreA very informative, yet brief session from Dr Doug Kelley, one of the field leaders in pH and alkalinity control – to understand the basic chemistry that lies under the pH measurement and how alkalinity and other chemicals can affect wastewater treatment. Also learn about the differences between using caustic, lime and soda ash for pH control or the cost benefits of using Magnesium Hydroxide products.
The relationship between pH & alkalinity is intimately connected with the chemistry of the aqueous bicarbonate equilibrium system.
During the webinar, Michael Wheatland demonstrates how gold, copper, coal and other mines around Australia are using ACTI-Mag to neutralise process or waste water to achieve better costs, safer process and a better environmental outcome.
A safe and cost effective alternative to the use of sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) for wastewater alkalinity and pH adjustment.
Along with our parent company, Calix (www.calix.global), we work cooperatively with each other, our team, our customers, and partners worldwide, to make a positive difference for the long-term. Because there is only one Earth.
Almost 2 billion people do not have a decent toilet or access to basic and safely managed sanitation. In many cases, faeces and urine end up untreated in the environment, contaminating it and threatening people’s health.
This is why IER supports WaterAid programs, to facilitate access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene in the world’s poorest and most marginalised communities.
