Join us for a unique presentation on lime's water quality applications. Registration for this limited-capacity event is open to all. Three hours of PDHs will be provided.
This event will be a one-of-a-kind exposition on the capabilities of lime used in both municipal and industrial water & wastewater treatment. Participants will experience live slaking and slurry demonstrations, learn of best practices of lime storage, mixing, pumping, and dosing, and visualize jar testing comparisons to highlight differences between lime vs. caustic soda vs. magnesium hydroxide.
Safety equipment required: closed-toe shoes, pants, no contacts.
