Neutralac® SLS45 is the UK's
fastest growing liquid hydrated
lime but the key to this growth
has been its versatility and
application across so many
different industrial sectors.
Below is a summary of where
high strength liquid lime is
making an impact on
safeguarding the environment
through wastewater treatment.
Finishing industry: The
incoming effluent pH is
rapidly elevated to the
optimum range for precipitat-
ing metals as hydroxides. Due
to its multiple functionalities,
Neutralac® SLS45 minimises
the consumption of addition-
al flocculants by displaying
flocculation functionalities
itself, and is therefore
capable of replacing several
reagents.
Food manufacturing:
Neutralac® has proven itself
as a highly effective liquid
lime that is safer and superior
to other alkali reagents. The
main objectives of reducing
trade effluent charges and
achieving compliance for
sewer discharge are consist-
ently met.
Chemical industry:
Neutralac® SLS45 is more
fluid and reactive than
powdered lime and caustic
soda. Compliant pH levels
and significant cost-savings
are achieved, whether the
reagent is used in a single or
multi-step treatment process.
Utilities sector: By
pre-treating the waste with
Neutralac® SLS45 before
de-watering, its high alkaline
content effectively neutralises
the wastewater so it can be
recycled back into the water
course, and the slurry is
cleansed and disinfected for
use as farm fertiliser.
Agriculture: Organic
matter is enhanced for
farming purposes due to the
lowering of acidity and the
killing of a wide range of
pathogens that facilitates a
sterile alkaline environment
for sustained periods.
