Comprehensive Solutions for Municipal Needs

Drinking Water Treatment

Iron and Manganese Removal: With CAIROX® potassium permanganate and CARUSOL® liquid permanganate, we eliminate iron and manganese to prevent staining and discoloration, improving water clarity.

Taste, Odor, and Color Control: Combat unpleasant tastes, odors, and discoloration caused by organic materials or minerals with our permanganate-based solutions.

Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs): Reduce the formation of harmful DBPs like trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) with Carus’ advanced solutions.

Sequestration and Scale Prevention: Carus’ polyphosphate blends bind with dissolved minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron, and manganese to:

  • Prevent scaling in pipes and equipment.
  • Eliminate red, brown, and black water caused by oxidized iron and manganese.
  • Support system maintenance by enhancing flushing programs and reducing operational disruptions.

Corrosion Control

Pipe Protection: Polyphosphate and orthophosphate blends form a protective film inside pipes, reducing lead and copper leaching and ensuring compliance with EPA standards.

System Efficiency: Minimize scale formation, improve water flow (C-factor), and extend the lifespan of infrastructure with tailored formulations.

Municipal Wastewater Treatment

Odor Control: Hydrogen sulfide and other sulfur compounds are neutralized with permanganate solutions, improving air quality and safety.

Color and Turbidity Reduction: Address discoloration in wastewater caused by industrial discharges or organic compounds, ensuring adherence to discharge limits.
