Innovative Solutions for Wastewater Treatment

At Carus, we understand the complex challenges faced by municipalities and industries in managing wastewater. Our comprehensive range of high-quality products, technical expertise, and tailored solutions empower wastewater facilities to meet regulatory standards, optimize operations, and protect public health and the environment.

Key Challenges in Wastewater Management

Odor Control

Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and other sulfur compounds can cause unpleasant odors, create safety risks, and corrode equipment in wastewater systems. Addressing these issues is critical for worker safety, public satisfaction, and system longevity.

Color and Turbidity

Discoloration caused by organic compounds or industrial discharges can impact the perceived quality of treated water and lead to regulatory challenges.

Solids Processing

Efficient solids separation and handling are vital for wastewater treatment plants to ensure smooth operations and reduce disposal costs.

Landfill Leachate

Landfill leachate is a highly complex wastewater containing elevated levels of ammonia, organic compounds, and heavy metals. Its treatment poses unique challenges due to its variable composition and environmental impact.

Scaling and Corrosion

Dissolved minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and iron can cause scale formation, reducing system efficiency and increasing maintenance costs. Corrosive water conditions also degrade infrastructure and pose risks to water quality.

How Carus Can Help

Carus offers a diverse portfolio of products and technologies to address the unique challenges of wastewater treatment:

Odor and Corrosion Control

Hydrogen Sulfide Neutralization: CARUSOL® liquid permanganate rapidly oxidizes H₂S, mercaptans, and other odorous compounds, ensuring improved air quality and safety.

Corrosion Prevention: Our products prevent the buildup of corrosive gases, extending the lifespan of critical infrastructure.

Solids Processing

CARUS POLYPRO Polymers: Improve solids separation and dewatering efficiency, streamlining operations and minimizing costs.

Color and Turbidity Reduction

Permanganate-Based Solutions: CARUSOL® and CAIROX® permanganates effectively oxidize organic compounds, reducing discoloration and turbidity in wastewater.

Sequestration and Scale Control

Polyphosphate Blends: Our products prevent scaling, enhance flushing programs, and improve water clarity, reducing operational disruptions and extending system life.
