alternative to lime in water treatment

Looking for an alternative to quicklime or hydrated lime? Omya natural mineral solutions provide safer handling, easier storage and more efficient pH control for wastewater treatment. Compared with traditional lime products, they reduce maintenance requirements, lower operational risks and support a more sustainable treatment process through a significantly lower carbon footprint.

  • Safer handling and dosing

    Omya products are made from natural minerals and are non-toxic. Unlike quicklime and powdered calcium hydroxide, they reduce operator exposure to caustic materials. Their natural buffering effect also helps prevent rapid pH fluctuations and reduces the risk of overdosing.

  • Easier storage and maintenance

    Omya liquid mineral suspensions remain stable during storage without constant agitation. They are non-corrosive and free-flowing, helping to reduce scaling, pipe clogging, equipment damage and maintenance costs.

  • Greater process efficiency at lower cost

    Omya products are highly reactive and efficient for neutralization and pH control, but with lower consumable costs than commodity lime. They cause less downtime and maintenance costs than lime, are easier to manage, and offer a more sustainable solution. The cost of commodity lime is affected by carbon taxes and rising energy costs, unlike Omya products.
