QUESTION: How does THIOGUARD® compare to caustic soda, lime, and other alkalinity products in terms of pH control, microbiological safety, and overall wastewater treatment performance?

ANSWER: THIOGUARD® is the original magnesium hydroxide wastewater treatment product, a superior solution to provide more bioavailable alkalinity, resulting in multiple benefits for wastewater treatment and sewage systems. Facilities can use THIOGUARD to improve plant performance while reducing corrosion, nutrient discharge, odor, biosolids, and costs. Unlike other alkaline additives to wastewater, THIOGUARD does not create hot zones over 10+ pH which can cause scale or harm the microbiological ecosystem, create large quantities of added solids, and accidental misdosing will not lead to wild shifts in pH that harm downstream processes. Unlike caustic soda or lime, THIOGUARD is nonhazardous and presents little danger to treatment plant employees and the surrounding environment.
