Reduce Costs, Improve Water Quality, and Meet
DBPR Requirements with Nutri-Mg++®

Nutri-Mg++ is a process for enhancing the treatment of potable water and fortifying the water with magnesium,
an essential nutrient.

Comply with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Requirements for the Disinfection Byproducts Rules (DBPRs) in an easy, cost-effective way:
 
  • Reduce the need for corrosive, acidic flocculating and settling chemistries, such as alum      and iron salts,
  • Improve the performance of filtration within the potable treatment process,
  • Eliminate the need for pH enhancement modifiers, such as lime and caustic soda, and
  • Optimize corrosion and scale inhibitors throughout the distribution system.

NUTRI-MG++ ENHANCED WATER TREATMENT PROCESS

Adding properly refined and processed magnesia results in consistently improved alkalinity. This makes meeting EPA requirements attainable and delivers multiple additional benefits.

IMPROVED PUBLIC HEALTH

Magnesium in an essential nutrient for human health and is often lacking in the American population. Magnesium has been shown to lower the risk of:

Type 2 Diabetes

Osteoporosis

Migraine Headaches

High Blood Pressure

Heart Disease &  Stroke

ENHANCED WATER TREATMENT PROCESS

Substituting divalent Magnesium Hydroxide for the sodium from monovalent Caustic Soda, Soda Ash and/or other chemistries, results in multiple plant benefits including:

Enhanced Coagulation, Flocculation & Sedimentation

Improved TOC removal in Bio-filtration

Reduced inorganic sludge

pH/ALKALINITY CONTROL WITHOUT UNDESIRABLES

Substituting Magnesium Hydroxide for Caustic Soda, Soda Ash and/or other chemistries results in improved process performance, as well as improved safety for handlers:

Sodium from caustic increases hypertension and is hazardous in-plant

Calcium adds temporary hardness and potentially, scale

Magnesium adds permanent hardness and no scale

COST SAVINGS

Nutri-Mg++ directly impacts your bottom line through improved plant performance, including:

Reduced addition of alum, iron and caustic

Reduced polymers addition

Fewer chemical deliveries required
