Calix ACTI-Mag corrosion and odour prevention for sewerage systems

ACTI-Mag is a concentrated, stabilised suspension of magnesium oxide. It is particularly effective for neutralisation and heavy metal capture in industrial wastewater treatment plants, municipal wastewater treatment plants, flue gas treatment (sulfur dioxide, chloride removal), sugar and chemical processing.

The product is a low-viscosity slurry that flows easily in most dosing systems. It is hydrated from Calix’s highly reactive magnesium hydroxide, imparting good neutralisation speed due to the high surface area. The product is safer to handle than traditional neutralisation chemicals, with reduced sludge generation making for easier disposal.

The product is useful for treating industrial metal-laden acidic wastewater, where, compared with caustic soda or lime, metals are removed at lower pH and less sludge is produced. It is also used by municipal wastewater treatment facilities and is a suitable product for odour control (prevention of hydrogen sulfide formation), neutralisation and corrosion protection in sewerage systems.
