Environmental remediation 

Reduce the negative impact of acidic pollution in soils, sludges, lakes and rivers. 

Our calcium carbonates increase pH in waste streams and watercourses to protect the environment

Acidic pollution can be caused naturally or by industrial activities. For example, in mining or ferrous and non-ferrous processing, pyrite decomposition associated with previous mining activities can cause acidic pollution.  

Our cost-effective, highly reactive calcium carbonate range helps to increase pH in waste or by-products streams to reduce the impact of acidic pollution in soils, sludges, lakes and rivers. 

Ecological balance 

In cities with watercourses such as lakes and ponds, the ecological balance must be maintained to support life, from microorganisms to fish and plants. Our products increase and stabilize pH to restore the environment.
