New Calmex for Improved Neutralisation 

Higher pH control and improved removal of sulphate ions from waste water is provided with the new calcium hydroxide suspension Calmex 40 from Omex Environmental Ltd (UK), specialists in neutraliser technology.

Calmex 40 is a highly refined aqueous suspension of calcium hydroxide containing 40% solids, which is ideal for the fast and efficient neutralisation of acidic and metal-bearing effluents produced during paper making, food processing, metal treatment, chemicals production and a whole range of other industries, particularly where residence times may be limited.

While magnesia is an ideal and safe neutraliser for the fast and effective control of pH levels and low sludge volumes and safety, Omex has introduced Calmex 40 to its portfolio for applications where there is a requirement for higher pH and for the removal of sulphate ions from solution.

Omex Environmental specialises in nutrients, flocculants, anti-bulking agents and acid neutralisers for inorganic and biological wastewater treatment and biogas plants.

As well as pH control, the company’s range of products are designed to overcome potential problems that can occur with modern effluent and septicity treatment, including odour control, filamentous bulking, and COD removal.
