pH Optima is a high purity calcium carbonate lime produced for dependable pH correction, buffering and neutralisation in a wide range of industrial applications. It is developed to deliver rapid and accurate pH adjustment in demanding environments such as effluent treatment plants, acid gas scrubbers and sludge conditioning systems. Its refined composition with calcium carbonate levels of not less than ninety five per cent gives a clean and predictable reaction profile that supports consistent performance across both continuous and batch operations.
pH Optima provides a combination of purity, consistency and operational convenience that improves the reliability of industrial treatment systems.
Overall, users gain a stable and predictable treatment solution that supports efficient plant operation.
pH Optima is used across environmental and water treatment operations where accurate pH modification is essential.
In essence, pH Optima serves as a dependable agent for pH stability in systems that demand consistent and repeatable results.
The product is produced in different kiln configurations to meet varied industrial needs. Standard PFR kilns supply material in the fifty to one hundred millimetre range while rotary kiln options provide ten to thirty millimetre material. Traditional kilns offer sizes above one hundred millimetres. Custom grading is available between ten and one hundred millimetres to allow the product to be matched precisely to user requirements.

High-grade lime sweetener corrects marginal lime, balances high-silica mixes, improves nodulization and kiln throughput and supports consistent strength development at grinding—stabilizing clinker and cement performance across plants.
As a fluxing agent, lime optimizes slag formation, reduces impurities and improves overall melt quality. In sintering, high-grade lime binds fines and lowers melt temperature for strong, reactive sinter—supporting efficient blast furnace and cleaner steel in secondary metallurgy.
Chemical-grade lime is a critical raw material for producing high-purity lime and calcium derivatives. Its consistent CaCO₃ content, low silica and minimal iron ensure predictable reactivity and clean conversion in calcination, hydration and chemical reaction processes. Whether in rotary kilns, PFR kilns, or shaft kilns, it supports reactive lime, PCC and specialty calcium compounds.
CFB and coal-based units rely on lime injection/FGD for SO₂ capture. High-reactivity lime improves capture efficiency in both retrofit and new builds—helping plants meet stringent air-quality norms.
High-calcium, low-iron lime lowers melting temperatures and stabilizes batch chemistry. Tight sizing ensures uniform melt flow; ultra-low iron is critical for solar, optical and premium architectural glass clarity.
High-purity CaCO₃ provides bioavailable calcium for bone mineralization, muscle function and eggshell formation. Controlled particle sizes enable uniform mixing, predictable release and consistent feed performance across growth stages.
To manage soil acidity, lime supplies calcium (and magnesium where dolomitic), improving structure, microbial activity and nutrient availability. Result: better root development, balanced uptake and improved yields.
GCC/lime powder is a cost-effective mineral extender for plastics, paints, rubber and more—improving bulk density, workability, rheology, dimensional stability and throughput with consistent sizing and low moisture.
