    Benefits

    Omya Optical® provides the following benefits over  lime, caustic soda, and magnesium hydroxide  used in wastewater treatment:

    • Non-corrosive – unlike lime or caustic soda
    • Buffers naturally in desired pH range
    • Faster sedimentation of large, dense flocs
    • Improved dewatering and polymer consumption
    • Dry product is non-hygroscopic – does not clog like lime
    • Reduced turbidity and suspended solids
    • Price has low variability

    Managing alkalinity and pH of wastewater is essential for effective nitrification, sludge dewatering, and floc formation. Omya Optical® buffers naturally, is safer to handle than sodium hydroxide or lime, and provides long lasting control.
