QUESTION: How can MgBalance™ help me with the upcoming regulatory changes to nitrogen and phosphorous treatment?
ANSWER: One of the challenges with plants treating to meet new, more restrictive nitrogen and phosphorous limits is that a lot of the methodologies currently in place result in downstream effects of increased polymer demand and poor quality biosolids.
The MgWater™ group has developed MgBalance treatment techniques, which leverage our expertise in magnesium hydroxide chemistry. When modeled and applied appropriately, these methods help reduce polymer demand and create biosolids that are not only dewatered better for transportation purposes, but potentially have a higher or more desirable reuse value.
