Applications & Uses

Calcium Nitrate 32% Solution is particularly useful in wastewater and sewage treatment, where nitrate can be used in appropriate treatment programs to help control anaerobic conditions and associated hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) generation and odour problems.

It may also be used for:

• Industrial wastewater treatment
• Sewage and effluent-treatment systems
• H₂S and odour-control treatment programs
• Process-water applications
• Calcium supplementation in suitable industrial processes
• Concrete and construction chemical formulations, subject to formulation requirements
• Chemical manufacturing
• Specialty water-treatment formulations
• Industrial nitrate and calcium source

Wastewater & H₂S Control

In wastewater systems, prolonged anaerobic conditions can encourage sulfate-reducing bacteria to generate hydrogen sulphide. Calcium nitrate solution can be dosed as part of a properly designed nitrate-treatment program to help maintain conditions that suppress sulfide formation.

Typical applications include sewer networks, wastewater collection systems, pumping stations, holding systems and industrial effluent systems.
