pH Correction in Wastewater Treatment
As a measurement of the acidity or basicity of a solution, pH is an important parameter to control and regulate in wastewater treatment. The scale used for pH goes ranges from 0 to 14, with pure water having a neutral pH of 7. The pH values of acids are below 7 and those of bases are above.
The pH may need to be corrected at various points throughout the wastewater treatment process; corrections to pH can help optimize conditions for other treatment processes such as coagulation and ensure effluent water is safe for release into the environment. With stringent regulations on industrial effluent parameters, proper regulation protects both human and environmental health.
We are proud to offer an effective range of high-quality coagulants suitable for use in wastewater treatment.
