Lime for Water & Wastewater Treatment
pH correction, softening and disinfection in municipal and industrial plants.
What lime does in water & wastewater treatment
Both quick lime and hydrated lime are used to raise pH, soften hard water, precipitate dissolved metals and disinfect. The existing Deshwali Minerals product listings name water disinfection specifically. For dosing plants, reliable particle size and available-lime consistency are what keep dosing rates stable.
Where it is used
- 01pH correction and alkalinity adjustment
- 02Lime softening — removal of carbonate hardness
- 03Heavy metal precipitation from industrial effluent
- 04Disinfection and sludge conditioning

What decides the grade and the price
Five things the sales desk will ask. Having them ready turns a first call into a quotation.
- 01Quantity per consignment and how often — a one-off lot and a monthly contract are priced differently.
- 02The form that suits your intake: lumps, a ground powder or hydrated lime, and the size fraction your feed system takes.
- 03The parameters that matter for the duty — for a flux it is CaO and reactivity; for dosing it is particle size and available lime.
- 04Packing for the journey and the storage at your end: bags, jumbo bags or bulk.
- 05Delivery point and the dates material is needed on site, so transport is priced to the door.
