Magnesium hydroxide slurry, which is recognized as “the milk of magnesia” for wastewater treatment, has been widely utilized for heavy metal precipitation and acid neutralization of industrial wastewater. Many industrial and municipal wastewater facilities are now converting over to magnesium hydroxide for utilization in aerobic and anaerobic biological treatment systems.

Magnesium Hydroxide 55% is a concentrated alkaline slurry that neutralizes acids and prevents the formation of H₂S gas by controlling wastewater pH. It is available as an aqueous suspension, which buffers to a controlled pH of 9.0.  As such, it is non-hazardous, non-corrosive and safer to handle.

Magnesium hydroxide slurry is used effectively in aerobic and anaerobic biological treatment systems at meat processing facilities, bakeries, chemical processing facilities, and municipalities.
