With the Thioguard Advantage Package,
it’s your process Mg+nified!^(TM)

Benefits outlined in this table require Thioguard’s superior technical grade magnesium hydroxide combined with the Thioguard Advantage Package of consulting, performance testing, inventory control and delivery services.


THIOGUARD BENEFITS IN NUTRIENT REMOVAL AND RECOVERY
Phosphorus-Removal | Nitrogen-Removal

HOW IT WORKS	WHAT TO LOOK FOR	HOW TO MEASURE	OPTIMAL RESULT/ BENEFIT/ SAVINGS
Increases pH and buffering alkalinity Enhanced Phosphorus uptake Enhanced P-strip release	Increased Biological Nutrient Removal pH and Alkalinity Reduced Total Phosphorus and Nitrogen	pH Meter Alkalinity Titration Phosphorus and Nitrogen Balance	Improved Phosphorus uptake and condition for Phosphorus wasting or recovery through side-stream treatments
Comments: Thioguard added at the plant or collection system is the only odor control strategy that can have positive influence on a BNR process.

THIOGUARD BENEFITS IN BIOSOLIDS TREATMENT
Digestion | CH₄ Methane Production | Enhanced Dewatering

HOW IT WORKS	WHAT TO LOOK FOR	HOW TO MEASURE	OPTIMAL RESULT/ BENEFIT/ SAVINGS
Increases pH and buffering alkalinity Stabilizes and enhances volatile acid and methane generation	Increased digester pH and alkalinity Higher Alkalinity/Volatile Acid ratio	pH Meter Alkalinity Titration Volatile Acid Analysis pH profile across process basins	Higher Digester Gas quantity and quality Increased Digester Load Capacity Lower Solids Disposal Costs
Comments:Thioguard added to the collection system or sludge digestion process improves the digestion and dewatering processes at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.

 

THIOGUARD BENEFITS IN WASTEWATER TREATMENT
BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) | TSS (Total Suspended Solids)
NH₃ (Ammonia) | Phosphorus | FOG

HOW IT WORKS	WHAT TO LOOK FOR	HOW TO MEASURE	OPTIMAL RESULT/ BENEFIT/ SAVINGS
Increases wastewater pH Sustainable non-carbonate alkalinity Provides nutrient enhancement for biological efficiency Improves nitrification efficiency	Increased Bioreactor Aeration Basin pH Increased Bioreactor Alkalinity Lower SVI (Sludge Volume Index)	Basin pH profile Soluble Alkalinity Higher F/M (Food/Mass) Ratio Lower Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids Blower Run Times	Increased Oxygen Uptake Rate Lower Aeration Energy Costs Lower SVI Lower Solids Production
Comments:Thioguard is the only liquid phase treatment used in the collection system that can enhance the treatment process at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.

THIOGUARD BENEFITS IN YOUR COLLECTION SYSTEM
Odors | Corrosion | FOG (Fats, Oil, Grease) | Air Relief

HOW IT WORKS	WHAT TO LOOK FOR	HOW TO MEASURE	OPTIMAL RESULT/ BENEFIT/ SAVINGS
Increases wastewater pH Buffers long-range Absorbs and complexes odor compounds Facilitates chemical and biological breakdown of FOG Minimizes gas evolution Neutralizes acid/prevents corrosion Reduces collection system gas binding	Reduced odors Increased Surface pH Reduced FOG accumulations Decreased Pump Station runtimes	Odalogs Surface pH paper Visual Inspection Pump out frequency Air Relief Valve Discharge Volume and Frequency	95% reduction in odors Surface pH > 4 Minimal/No FOG Reduced PS Energy Costs
Comments: Customers can “dial in” the desired level of treatment. Optimal acid neutralization prevents premature infrastructure corrosion and/or replacement, and adds numerous benefits downstream. Thioguard can reduce FOG related SSOs. Thioguard has been proven to reduce pumping costs on long force mains.
