Control of Alkalinity and pH changes is crucial for maintaining water quality standards, particularly in industrial and agricultural settings. Poorly managed and untreated waste can result in significant issues related to alkalinity and pH fluctuations. Using acid and caustic chemicals helps neutralize these imbalances, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and operational efficiency.
At ChemREADY, we offer customized and cost-effective Alkalinity Control and caustic chemicals to help you meet water quality standards. These solutions ensure chemical stability and neutralization of both acids and bases, keeping your operation running smoothly while meeting environmental requirements.
Water pH measures the concentration of hydrogen ions, while alkalinity refers to the water’s ability to neutralize acids, represented by carbonate and bicarbonate levels. ChemREADY’s versatile Alkalinity Control chemicals, such as pHREADY, make it simple for operations to resist pH changes and maintain an efficient control system. Our products are ideal for adjusting the acidity of streams and ponds and increasing the basicity of treated water.
We offer a range of solutions tailored to your needs, including various strengths and sizes of pH control chemicals. Industries that benefit from these products include Water Treatment, Coal, Utilities, Oil/Gas, Aggregate, Commercial/Industrial, and Steel.
pHREADY is an effective alkalinity booster designed specifically to work in conjunction with SulfAWAY and BioREADY products to treat odor at the source!
pH measures how acidic or basic a substance is, with a typical range from 0 to 14, though actual pH levels can exceed these limits. To control alkalinity, you must manage pH to resist changes. pH stands for “Potential Hydrogen” and measures the activity of hydrogen ions in water.
pH adjustment involves adding a reagent—such as acid to lower pH or caustic substances to raise it. Soda ash (sodium carbonate) is an effective choice for raising pH, while baking soda has a minimal effect. Commonly, sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide (caustic) are used to adjust pH. However, caution is necessary, as controlling alkalinity can trigger exothermic reactions, especially in higher concentrations, generating heat that must be considered when designing systems.
To help maintain pH balance, ChemREADY offers pHREADY, an effective alkalinity booster. pHREADY works alongside our products to neutralize pH and control odor at the source. Our Bio-Active manufacturing process creates superior, biologically receptive nutrients and alkalinity sources, making it ideal for a variety of applications.
pH measures acidity or basicity. It’s controlled by adding acid to lower it or caustic substances to raise it.
Industries like Water Treatment, Coal, Utilities, Oil/Gas, and Steel benefit from effective pH and alkalinity control.
Sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, and soda ash are common chemicals used for pH adjustment.
