The Source

Not all magnesium hydroxide is created equal.

Whether associated with the source of the raw materials or the production of the slurry itself, it is important to recognize that not all magnesium hydroxide is created equal. As the manufacturer and supplier of exclusively American-made product, we ensure that not only will reactivity be optimized, but also that the proper quality controls are in place to ensure consistency. Owning our own source of raw materials additionally ensures reliability of supply. For the sake of your operation, it is essential to understand where your product is coming from.

Problems associated with lower-grade and lower-quality magnesium hydroxide:

Treatment Failures: Lack of reactivity could cause failure of certain systems; for example in biological wastewater a failure could require replacement of the entire the bacteria population
Product Consistency: Low-grade slurries have poor physical characteristics that cause solid particles to fall out of suspension and collect at the bottom of storage or feeding equipment, causing costly cleanouts and down time.
Reduced Cost Effectiveness: It is typically seen that 15% to 30% more product is needed when using lower-grade magnesium hydroxide as compared with AQUAMAG^®.
