Thioguard 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.
