How Thioguard®
helps inside the
sewer treatment plant ...

Magnesia slurry has long been used to maintain pH during nitrification.  Because alkalinity is released slowly, there are no hot spots to kill Nitrosomonas or Nitrobacter bacteria. Systems that nitrify benefit from odor and corrosion control and improved nitrification when using Thioguard®.

Thioguard® is cationic and improves flocculation, settling rates and dissolved air floatation performance.

Tests confirm Thioguard® can improve effluent:

• Lower Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
   

• Reduced Sludge Volume Index (SVI)
   

• Less Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD5)
