Thioguard®

Thioguard® is an effective and environmentally-safe Total System Treatment (TST) for municipal wastewater treatment facilities and sanitary sewers. As municipal-grade magnesium hydroxide slurry, THIOGARD is often described as the “milk of magnesia” for sanitary systems. Providing more alkalinity than any other additive, it is effective at treating odors, corrosion and FOG (fats, oils and grease), and also provides positive plant benefits for nitrification, biosolids production, digester performance, and chlorination.

Applications
  • Direct Addition for Alkalinity / pH Control - Added directly to treatment plant operations, THIOGUARD provides more pound for pound alkalinity than any other additive while contributing a magnesium micronutrient to plant biology, reduced polymer addition and reduced biosolids production. 
  • Direct Addition for Odor Control - Added directly to wastewater collection systems, THIOGUARD stops odors by preventing formation of hydrogen sulfide gas while providing downstream benefits to the treatment plant operations.
  • Crown Spray for Corrosion Control - Surfaces periodically sprayed with THIOGUARD are gently neutralized and protected from corrosion. 
  • Municipal Wastewater & Sanitary Sewer Treatment.
