Expand your environmental protection with innovative lime solutions
Lime plays a far greater role than supporting water and wastewater treatment - it is a key ally in tackling some of today’s most pressing environmental challenges. At Lhoist, we help you stabilize contaminated soils, protect water ecosystems, and optimize industrial water circuits with reliable, high performance lime-based solutions. The result: cleaner environments, safer operations, and more sustainable use of precious natural resources.
Contaminated soil treatment
When industrial activity leaves behind hazardous compounds, you need a remediation approach that is both effective and secure. Our lime-based reagents help you neutralize or immobilize contaminants while improving soil structure. This enables safer handling, more efficient remediation, and long-term site stability - helping you restore land reliably, in compliance with environmental requirements.
Acid mine drainage
Acid mine drainage (AMD) can threaten rivers, lakes, and groundwater for decades if left untreated. Lime is one of the most effective tools to combat AMD, rapidly neutralizing acidity and precipitating dissolved metals before they spread. Whether you are restoring lakes, managing active mine operations, or addressing legacy pollution on abandoned sites, our solutions help you safeguard water quality and protect surrounding ecosystems.
Pulp and paper water circuits: more efficient operations
Modern recycling paper plants face mounting pressure to reduce freshwater consumption. As you close your water loops, soluble impurities accumulate - fueling microbial growth, increasing odors, and causing scaling that strains your equipment and destabilizes your process.
High-reactivity milk of lime enables you to regain operational stability by:
- Stabilizing pH
- Enhancing biocide efficiency
- Precipitating soluble hardness to reduce scaling
- Improving wet-end additive performance
- Suppressing odors and minimizing biofouling
