With an increase in pH, soluble calcium will become more mobile and modify fine particles in a way that improves settlement. This modification can also reduce the need for additional flocculants while improving the density and strength of the flocs.
Adding lime and controlling pH will lock up soluble metals and convert those metals to a more chemically stable form that is less likely to leach. In addition, when added to soils and sludges, lime can be a very effective way to solidify and dewater materials and manage pathogens of various types. In recent times, lime is being trialed as an aid to improve soil mechanical properties for oil and diesel contaminated soils.
Where required, our products are manufactured to meet industry or local specifications. Surface or top courses are also available depending on the Graymont site and location of the works.

Graymont's hydrated lime products can be used during pond transition procedures and to correct pond pH during growth cycles. Pond water that becomes acidic will place unnecessary stress on many prawn species and may result in lower growth rates.
