MAGNESIUM OXIDE

Magnesium oxide cuts wastewater treatment costs by reducing the amount of alkali necessary for neutralization. It offers a 45% reduction in product usage verses hydrated calcium lime. When neutralizing sulfuric acid based wastewater, the sludge volume generated can be decreased 35 – 50%.

Benefits of Magnesium Oxide Include:

• Improved pH control
• Decreased product usage
• Denser sludge
• Improved metals removal
• High effluent water quality
• Safe for workers
• Dry alkali
• Cold environment friendly

This product can be used in a number of different applications; including fertilizers, rubber and plastics, wastewater neutralization, pulp and paper, sugar refining, power generation, metal precipitation, boiler and cooling water treatment, and animal feed.

Magnesium oxide can be shipped to your facility in bags, supersacks, pneumatic trucks, or rail cars.

W. K. Merriman, Inc. also provides dry feed systems that eliminate problems associated with slaking and slurrying tanks commonly used in industry.
