CO2 for Water

For water and wastewater treatment.

Carbon dioxide, a safe alternative to acids

Carbon dioxide is an alternative to acids, traditionally used to neutralise alkaline waters, which main advantages are safety and buffer effect. It allows to obtain the encrusting or aggressive nature of water according to the different equilibria carbonic acid, bicarbonate-carbonates, pH level, temperature, calcium concentration and total salinity in the water.

Advantages

  • Inert and non-flammable, safe to store and environmentally friendly.
  • Quick adjustment of the pH value without the risk of over-acidification
  • Preserves the quality of the water without increasing the salt load (Al, S, Cl)
  • Easy to handle
  • Non-corrosive, extends the service life of equipment and systems
    Buffer effect.
