Lime is one of the most common and economical chemicals used in the water and wastewater treatment process. The cost of com­mercial bulk hydrated lime or prepared lime slurry solutions, however, becomes prohibitive for installations requiring a continuous, high volume supply, typically greater than 45 kgslhr (100 lbs/hr). To help alleviate this cost, on-site slaking or hydration is the ideal solution. The Series A-758 lime slaker provides for reliable, efficient slaking of various grades of quicklime (Cao) at a substantial savings over other slaking methods.

Key Benefits

  • Saves water, heat and power
  • Economical and reliable on-site slaking
  • Easy to install, unit is factory pre-tested
  • Choice of final slurry concentration
  • Flexible controls: manual, flow proportional, and automatic start-stop

The A-758 Plus Lime Slaker system provides reliable, efficient slaking of various grades of quicklime (Cao) at a substantial sav­ings over other slaking methods. Our paste-type lime slaker produces a higher strength and more reactive paste resulting in more efficient use of lime. The resulting higher strength slurry reduces wasted lime and associated costs, ensuring treatment objectives are efficiently met. For over 40 years, we have pioneered the design and application of paste-type lime slakers. Our recent devel­opments to the lime slaker technology bring new features which extend equipment life, reduce maintenance costs, and improve control and reliability.

Key Benefits

  • More reactive lime slurry improves efficiency, reduces lime costs and ensures treatment objectives are met
  • More efficient; external heat source not required
  • Reliable performance and robust construction reduce operator attention and lower maintenance costs
  • Faster slaking improves responsiveness, making it easier to control over a wider range
  • Smaller footprint and flexible configuration make installation simple
