THIOGUARD TST (Total System Treatment) is a non-hazardous, non-pharmeceutical
alkaline slurry for use in the treatment of municipal water and wastewater.
Magnesium hydroxide is most recognized as "milk of magnesia," a safe treatment for
acid stomach. The technology is simple. Addition of relatively small amounts of
THIOGUARD added upstream directly to municipal wastewater collections systems
and/or wastewater treatment plants:
- stops odors by preventing the formation of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas
- reduces collection system and plant corrosion
- provides a highly efficient non-carbonate buffered (<10 pH) source of
sustainable alkalinity and pH for plant nitrification and BNR processes
- enhances plant clarification and dewatering
