Treatment + Get AlertsThioguard benefits in biosolids treatment include:
• Digestion
• Methane production
• Enhanced dewatering
How it works:
- Increases pH and buffering alkalinity
- Stabilizes and enhances volatile acid and methane generation
What to look for:
- Increased digester pH and alkalinity
- Higher alkalinity/volatile acid ratio
How to measure:
- pH meter
- Alkalinity titration
- Volatile acid analysis
- pH profile across process basins
Results, benefits and savings
- Higher digester gas quantity and quality
- Increased digester load capacity
- Lower solids disposal costs
Thioguard added to the collection system or sludge digestion process can also help the digestion and dewatering processes at the wastewater treatment plant.
Thioguard benefits in nutrient removal/modification include:
- Phosphorus removal
- Nitrogen removal
How it works:
- Increases pH and buffering alkalinity
- Nutrient enhancement of phosphorus uptake
What to look for:
- Increased biological nutrient removal pH and alkalinity
- Reduced total phosphorus and nitrogen
How to measure:
- pH meter
- Alkalinity titration
- Phosphorus and nitrogen balance
Results, benefits and savings
Improved phosphorus uptake and condition for phosphorus wasting or recovery through side-stream treatments
Thioguard added at the plant or collection system is the only odor control strategy that can have positive influence on a BNR process.
