ALKA-Mag+ to stabilise pH and boost alkalinity
ALKA-Mag+ (60% Mg(OH)2) has a higher neutralizing value per pound than any other alkaline additive. This translates into a 40% reduction in chemical usage when compared with caustic soda, while being significantly safer for operators to handle and more nutritive for the microorganisms being maintained – making it the most cost-effective option.
* In 2022, AMALGAM-60 was renamed ALKA-Mag+, improved stability, flowability, and reactivity from IER & Calix’s synergy.

REQUEST A QUOTEThe value of magnesium hydroxide as a substitute for caustic soda and lime
Magnesium hydroxide is the least expensive and most powerful alkaline chemical treatment available on the market for pH control applications.
KEY BENEFITS
High neutralisation potential without high pH
Reduced sludge generation making for easier disposal (lower overall costs)
Solve sodium discharge issues by substituting for caustic
Safer to handle than traditional neutralisation chemicals (Lime and Caustic)

SUPPORTING WATERAID
Because we truly care about sanitation
Almost 2 billion people do not have a decent toilet or access to basic and safely managed sanitation. In many cases, faeces and urine end up untreated in the environment, contaminating it and threatening people’s health.
This is why IER supports WaterAid programs, to facilitate access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene in the world’s poorest and most marginalised communities.
