Jayne Products - Vivianite and Struvite Prevention and Inhibition
Struvite prevention is a hot topic for wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) and Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO). The outlet - outflow line of the anaerobic digester is often the first piece of equipment to get choked by a deposit of hard rock Struvite crystals. Struvite tends to form after the anaerobic digester in the pipes and equipment involved in dewatering the sludge solids. The worst Struvite precipitation often builds up in the WWTP and CAFO plant’s turbulent areas, which are their pump heads, pipe bends and sludge transfer lines. The best method for preventing the precipitation of Struvite is the have a Struvite prevention system in place to prevent it from forming in or on sludge valves, transfer lines, centrifuges, heating exchangers, centrate tanks, filtrate tanks and sludge blending tanks.

The ingredients for Struvite crystal are found in the water of WWTPs because of the makeup of the human waste. Our drinking water contains a small minute amount of magnesium (15 parts per million), but it gets a bit concentrated in the anaerobic digester. Urea from human waste breaks down into ammonia and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the anaerobic digester. Phosphorus comes into the plant as a phosphate from our dishwasher and laundry detergents. The anaerobic digester in combination with the pipes and pumps makes a terrific breeding ground for Struvite. When magnesium, ammonia and phosphorus come together in a one mole to one mole to one mole relationship in the WWTP or CAFO digester, Struvite precipitates. To prevent the formation of Struvite one has to keep the MAP components in liquid form
Struvite Preventer is a product that was designed to keep the MAP in liquid form and prevent Struvite from precipitating in WWTPs and CAFOs. In WWTPs one wants to prevent the Struvite crystals from forming and to do that if one can control the magnesium and keep it in solution, MAP will not precipitate. With Struvite Preventer, the ability to solubilize magnesium from the MAP crystal is a function of time and weight percent (wt%) concentration.
Struvite Preventer is an easy liquid to work with and is an environmentally friendly product. Struvite Preventer is used to keep the pH of the liquid well below its precipitating pH. It is also a lot easier than injecting CO2 into the WWTP and CAFO systems in an effort to control the ammonia. Struvite Preventer has a successful track record. Free samples are available so that you can conduct your own successful laboratory tests on your MAP liquids.
