Project Type: Lime Slaker Tanks / Slurry Tanks, Water Treatment Equipment
Final Location: Brookings, SD
Completion Date: July 2023
Project Scope: GSM Industrial fabricated essential water treatment equipment, including:
The complexity of breaking down and fabricating parts to match detailed customer drawings was a significant challenge. Ensuring quality and accuracy during the assembly of these parts into fully functional tanks required expertise and precision.
Leveraging our team’s extensive experience and knowledge, we successfully navigated the complexities of this project. Our personnel’s ability to manage large and intricate projects ensured the tanks were fabricated to the highest standards, meeting all quality and accuracy requirements.
The stainless steel lime slaker tanks, also known as quicklime slakers, are critical in water treatment processes. These tanks convert quicklime into calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), or slaked lime, to create a lime slurry. The lime slurry is integral for various water treatment purposes, including:
Lime slurry increases the water’s pH, neutralizing acidic waters, preventing pipe corrosion, and making wastewater safe for release or reuse.
Keeping the water at a pH of 10.5–11.00 for 24–72 hours with lime slurry reduces bacteria and viruses.
Lime slurry effectively removes heavy metals dissolved in water.
Reducing water hardness and associated alkalinity, lime slurry removes dissolved minerals and scale-forming tendencies.
Lime slurry also removes manganese, fluoride, organic tannins, and iron from water.
In wastewater treatment, lime slurry ensures the water is safe for release or reuse in industrial processes. For drinking water, it neutralizes the water, preventing corrosion and leaching of water pipes.
