Excessive odour in sewage network, causing odour complaints ?
Heavy build-up of Fogs layers in the network causing severe corrosion ?
Excess usage of chemicals like lime and alum, & iron salts leading to high maintenance costs ?
Frequent need for vacuum truck cleaning leading to an increase in maintenance costs ?
Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) gas is produced in sewage with a distinctive and unpleasant rotten egg smell causing frequent odour complaints.
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. ACTI-Mag effectively locks up H2S to prevent release as a gas that produces odour and facilitates corrosion. ACTI-Mag is safe to handle and cost effective with many knock-on benefits that reduce treatment costs at the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP).
ACTI-Mag for Odour Control
ACTI-Mag has a higher neutralising value per kilo when compared with caustic while being significantly safer to handle than other traditional alkalis, making it a very safe
and cost competitive option for hydrogen sulphide gas (H2S) control in sewers.
Key Benefits
Attractive cost savings.
Eliminate odour complaints.
Safe / non-hazardous / corrosion free.
Environmentally friendly.
Watch our Webinar: A Total Odour Control Solution
Calix offers a complete solution when it comes to hydrogen sulphide elimination, which is the primary cause of the majority of odour complaints from municipal wastewater systems. This webinar covers the application, benefits and service options available for councils and water authorities that wish to apply ACTI-Mag in their network.
H2S is highly toxic…
At just 0.0047 ppm, your customers will start detecting the characteristic ‘rotten egg’ smell of H2S.
ACTI-Mag NEUTRALISES FASTER
Less chemical consumption
Made with high surface area MgO (200m2 /gm), ACTI-Mag provides excellent neutralisation speed and produces less sludge, making it a much more stable product, which stays as a suspension longer compared to other Magnesium Hydroxide slurries.
- Low viscosity – flows easily in most dosing systems
- Higher neutralisation potential – better cost and usage efficiency
- Reduced sludge – easier disposal (less costs)
- Safe to handle / non hazardous (corrosion free)
- Buffers at pH 9 if overdosed – better stability
not all magnesium hydroxide are made equal.
Unlike many other Magnesium Hydroxide slurries, Calix’s ACTI-Mag is a concentrated (60%) stabilised suspension of magnesium hydroxide.
More solids = Lower required dose.
