QUESTION: Has Premier Magnesia worked with independent researchers to evaluate how its Mg(OH)2 performs in wastewater treatment systems?

ANSWER: When you work with MgWater™, you’re working with the country’s leading experts in magnesium hydroxide – Mg(OH)₂. For over 60 years, Premier Magnesia has delivered proven solutions across industries, backed by a team of experienced engineers, PhDs, and industry veterans.

Beyond our own rigorous internal testing and product development, we’ve also partnered with respected institutions like Bucknell University, Vanderbilt University, and Virginia Tech. These collaborations focused on studying how Premier Magnesia’s magnesium hydroxide performs in real-world wastewater treatment applications, helping to validate and refine our approach through independent, third-party research.

QUESTION: What were the goals of the research partnerships with those universities?
ANSWER: The primary goal was to understand how our magnesium hydroxide products interact in various wastewater environments – from pH control and odor mitigation to nutrient removal. These studies provided unbiased scientific data that confirmed the effectiveness and consistency of our products, while also highlighting areas for innovation and improvement.

QUESTION: How does this research benefit customers?
ANSWER: Third-party validation gives our customers confidence that our product performs as promised – not just in the lab, but in real-world treatment facilities. It means more predictable results, optimized dosages, and more efficient plant operations. Customers also benefit from our ability to apply data-driven recommendations specific to their system’s needs.

Water treatment challenges evolve, and so do we. We’re continuously investing in new research and partnering with experts to stay ahead of industry demands. Whether it’s optimizing formulations or exploring emerging contaminants, our commitment to scientific validation is ongoing.
