Environmental & Water Treatment
Lime is a vital material in environmental protection and water treatment applications. Its versatility and chemical properties make it an essential resource for maintaining safe water quality and reducing environmental impact across multiple industries.
Lime is a core component in flue gas desulfurisation (FGD) systems used to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions from power plants and industrial facilities. It captures sulfur effectively, helping organisations comply with environmental regulations for SOx NOx and particulate matter. By reducing harmful emissions lime supports cleaner air and a healthier environment while protecting equipment from corrosion and operational wear.
In water treatment lime acts as a neutralising agent, adjusting pH levels and stabilising water quality. It is widely used in wastewater treatment plants, industrial effluent management and sewage treatment systems to remove acidity and precipitate impurities. This ensures water can be safely discharged or recycled, reducing environmental impact and supporting sustainable practices.
Lime also plays an important role in ecological restoration projects. It improves soil quality and supports the rehabilitation of degraded land, wetlands and aquatic ecosystems. Its use encourages biodiversity and enables sustainable growth of plants and wildlife in restored habitats.
