Applications
Harness the Resource Recovery Power of Thioguard
The Safe, Comprehensive Treatment Application for Sanitary Sewers and Municipal Wastewater
Gallon for gallon, Thioguard provides more bioavailable alkalinity than any other treatment available, resulting in multiple benefits for a wastewater treatment system, including:
Improved plant performance
Reduced corrosion
Reduced nutrient discharge
Fewer total gallons used
Reduced odor
Reduced biosolids
Reduced costs

SUPERIOR QUALITY FROM EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
In addition to controlling odors and corrosion, hioguard also helps reduce FOG, improves biological treatment plant performance, and enhances solids dewatering. NO other collection system odor control product can provide as many addiitonal downstream performance and cost-saving benefits.
ENHANCE STRUVITE RECOVERY
- Maximize P removal.
- Versatile system-wide magnesia utilization.
- For biosolids amendment or finished products.
BIO-PHOSPHORUS REMOVAL
- Enhanced P-Strip release.
- Increased Bio-P uptake.
- Combined N and P treatment.
ACTIVATED SLUDGE & FIXED FILM
- Conventional and Specialized N Treatment.
- Enhancement of Bio-P Reactors.
- Multiple N and P Configurations.
FOG MANAGEMENT
- Condition Fats, Oils, and Grease for in-plant carbon source.
- Condition FOG for anaerobic digestion.
- Manage FOG receiving and transportation.
- Prevent FOG accumulation in collection system or throughout plant.
REDUCE ODORS / CORROSION
- Surface pH elevation, reduced corrosion.
- Reduced odor in solids handling: primaries, dewatering, holding tanks, etc.
- Reduce air phase treatment loading.
- Improved worker safety in collection system and enclosed plant process buildings.
ANAEROBIC DIGESTION
- Increase specific yield of methane.
- Improve volatile solids reduction.
- Cleaner digester gas.
A turnkey, patent pending process that ensures struvite will not form under any of the many circumstances that can cause the problem.
The chemical components of struvite (magnesium, ammonia, phosphorous) exist in every wastewater system. They are specifically found at more highly concentrated levels in biological processes, such as anaerobic digestion… yet struvite scale is not prolific at every plant. This is irrespective of their use of magnesium hydroxide. For several years, Premier has had many customers using Thioguard experiencing no negative impacts from struvite.
Why? Magnesium, an ingredient in Thioguard, is rarely the causative factor for struvite formation. The real explanation is the concentration ratio of the three components mentioned above, COUPLED with mechanical, hydraulic, or chemical inputs facilitating localized aqueous pH spikes, promoting high omega factors, and thus struvite formation (i.e. pump volute or mixer, turbulent elbow, excess caustic or soda ash addition).
Thioguard Ωmega-S is an easy turnkey patent pending process. The Thioguard Ωmega-S program is a small fraction of the cost of other aggressive methods. A few milligrams of Ωmega-S combined with Thioguard treatment will insure that struvite will not form under any of the many circumstances that can cause the problem.
All the Benefits of Thioguard, now available in powdered form, allowing your existing storage and feed system to be used to deliver Thioguard OX without costly modifications.
A SAFER, MORE COST-EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO BULK HYDRATED LIME, QUICKLIME OR SODA ASH
THIOGUARD OX, hydrated lime, quicklime, and soda ash each have different physical and chemical properties that affect how each reacts with the systems to which they are added. THIOGUARD OX is a proven, premium quality, technical-grade magnesium oxide, manufactured through a proprietary process for application in municipal water and wastewater treatment.
NO CAPITAL EXPENDITURES NECESSARY
Your existing storage and feed system can be used to deliver THIOGUARD OX without costly modifications. You can begin reaping the benefits of THIOGUARD OX without up-front costs.
SUPERIOR HANDLING
THIOGUARD OX is manufactured to an exacting particle size and specific surface area to provide the highest reactivity, and superior handling. This provides consistent performance, LESS CAKING AND “CLUMPING”, and better dispersion, which is critical to treatment plant operations, while reducing sludge generation.
MULTIPLE BENEFITS TOTAL SYSTEM TREATMENT
THIOGUARD OX is available at distribution terminals throughout the USA, and delivers Total System Treatment with multiple additional benefits. When compared to quicklime, there is no “slaking” required. THIOGUARD OX is the practical choice that provides a safer, more cost-effective alternative.
LIME SOFTENING / SLUDGE GENERATION
Lime produces calcium carbonate in wastewater, which acts as a coagulant for hardness and particulate matter. Lime may potentially increase the volume of waste sludge up to 50 percent.
