Water and Wastewater Treatment

Our high-quality hydrated lime products are widely used in water and wastewater treatment. Hydrated lime is a cost-effective chemical for water treatment. It is readily available, easy to handle and store, and has a long shelf life. Compared to other chemicals used for water treatment, such as caustic soda or sodium hydroxide, hydrated lime is often more affordable. Below are some of the key uses of our hydrated lime products:

pH Adjustment
The pH level of water is an important parameter that affects its quality and suitability for various uses. Hydrated lime is commonly used to adjust the pH level of water and bring it to a more neutral range. By raising the pH level, hydrated lime can help to prevent the corrosion of metal pipes and equipment, improve the efficiency of coagulation and flocculation processes, and enhance the effectiveness of disinfection.

Impurity Removal
Impurities in water can include suspended solids, dissolved minerals, organic matter, and microorganisms. These impurities can cause a range of problems such as health risks, aesthetic issues, and equipment damage if left unaddressed. When hydrated lime is added to the water, it reacts with the impurities to form a precipitate. This precipitate can be removed by settling, filtration, or other methods. This process is commonly known as coagulation and flocculation in wastewater treatment.

Softening
Water softening is the process of removing dissolved minerals such as calcium and magnesium ions from hard water, which can cause scaling and other issues in industrial processes, appliances, and plumbing fixtures. In the water-softening process, hydrated lime is added to hard water, which causes the dissolved calcium and magnesium ions to form a precipitate. This precipitate can then be removed through settling or filtration.
