The problem<\/b><\/h3>\n

Hydrogen sulphide gas is a common by-product in sewage treatment systems.
\nThe gas is not only recognised for its noxious smell and toxicity to workers but also can corrode pipes and sewage treatment facilities at significant cost to operators. Each year, corrosion from hydrogen sulphide and sulphuric acid is estimated to cost US sewage treatment operators $14 billion.
\nUntil now, operators were restricted in their choice of treatment method, with current methods either unable to treat high concentrations of hydrogen sulphide or often leaving treated materials unsuitable for uses such as agriculture.<\/p>\n

Our solution: Zero Water Treatment
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

GRT Water Services introduces Zero Water Treatment<\/b>, a magnesium-based advanced polymer solution that effectively limits the formation of hydrogen sulphide gas.
\nBy increasing the pH levels of treated materials, Zero Water Treatment<\/b> reduces odours and risks for on-site workers, while limiting corrosion to sewerage systems.
\nGRT Water Services offers cost-effective, turn-key solutions, offering dosing facilities to local government and industrial sewerage system operators and is suitable for aerobic and anaerobic treatment systems.<\/p>\n

Application<\/b><\/h3>\n

GRT Water Services works with clients to design, install and manage facilities to provide custom dosing for the Zero Water Treatment<\/b> product.
\nAt selected pumping stations and the sewage treatment plant, dosing stations measure the pH levels and the concentration of hydrogen sulphide, before injecting precise concentrations of the Zero Water Treatment<\/b> product.
\nZero Water Treatment<\/b> relies on GRT\u2019s internationally recognised expertise in advanced polymer technology, ensuring the solution\u2019s maximum effectiveness by staying in suspension longer.
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

System impact<\/b><\/h3>\n

GRT Water Services Zero Water Treatment<\/b> is a cost-effective addition to any sewage treatment system, reducing capital expenditure and enhancing worker safety.
\nZero Water Treatment<\/b> also enhances sewerage system effectiveness by supporting bacterial activity, reducing ammonia while maintaining optimal pH range.
\nZero Water Treatment <\/b>also aids anaerobic processes by providing an optimal pH range for methane-forming bacterial growth, improving the performance of wastewater treatment systems.<\/p>\n

Safety<\/b><\/h3>\n

The presence of hydrogen sulphide, and its associated odour is a nuisance for workers, contractors and neighbouring communities.
\nExposure to hydrogen sulphide can cause irritation, breathing difficulties and, in sufficiently high concentrations, can be fatal.
\nThe safety of on-site workers is GRT Water Service\u2019s highest priority, and Zero Water Treatment<\/b> offers a proven hazard reduction method for sewage treatment system operators.
\nBy reducing the presence of hydrogen sulphide gas, Zero Water Treatment<\/b> provides operators with a proven method to limit the amenity impact and safety risks for neighbours and on-site personnel.
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

Financial benefits<\/b><\/h3>\n

GRT Water Service\u2019s Zero Water Treatment<\/b> offers government and industrial sewage treatment system operators a proven, cost-effective method of reducing the burden of hydrogen sulphide corrosion.
\n
\nZero Water Treatment<\/b> offers an immediate and measurable reduction in the treatment and remediation of corrosion, protecting valuable industrial assets and reducing costs while extending assets\u2019 useful lifespans.<\/p>\n


\nEnvironmental impact<\/b><\/h3>\n

Zero Water Treatment\u2019s magnesium-based advanced formulation provides a lower sodium wastewater output compared to conventional caustic soda based systems.
\nZero Water Treatment<\/b> is classified as a non-hazardous product and can be reliably used where wastewater flows are used for non-industrial purposes, including agricultural irrigation.
\nComparative products
\nGRT Water Services\u2019 Zero Water Treatment<\/b> offers substantial operational, safety, financial and environmental benefits over alternative treatment solutions.<\/p>\n
