Burnett - Model CAL~FLO® -Lime Feed System for Water Treatment

SHARE
Burnett Lime Company's CAL~FLO® system is engineered for precision in lime feeding, offering an efficient and nonhazardous method for controlling pH, hardness, and alkalinity in water treatment processes. Unlike traditional dry lime or liquid caustic methods, CAL~FLO® reduces the necessary feed rate and minimizes maintenance challenges. It dissolves on contact, preventing settling in mix tanks and sludge basins, thus eliminating common issues like equipment clogging and poor chemical dispersion. Moreover, CAL~FLO® provides a stable and predictable cost structure, delivering long-term savings by reducing chemical, maintenance, and safety incident expenses. It is also noted for its ability to avoid dust creation, which is a major drawback of traditional dry lime use. With a consistently lower price than liquid caustic and a reduced impact on system wear, the CAL~FLO® system represents a viable solution for sustainable water treatment operations.

  • Precise application (reduces feed rate)

  • Low maintenance

  • No dust

  • Nonhazardous

  • Complete solution to control pH, hardness, and alkalinity – CAL~FLO® flattens your water curve to deliver straight-line predictable results both coming into and out of your plant

  • Dissolves on contact, no settling in rapid mix, finished water lines, or sludge basins

  • Clogs feed lines and settles to the bottom of tanks

  • Inaccurate chemical dosing

  • Requires constant maintenance, higher rehabilitation costs, and higher replacement cost

  • Dust covers almost every working surface of equipment and chemical room

  • Poor mixing in wastewater sludge basins leads to settling and higher plant maintenance

  • Causes burns and is extremely dangerous to handle (hazardous chemical classification)

  • Has feed problems in cold temperatures (can gel in pumps)

  • Erratic pricing; more expensive on average

  • Treats pH only and adds additional sodium to the water

  • More expensive

  • Slower reaction time

  • Less raw material supply

  • Chemical costs

  • Safety incident costs

  • Plant maintenance costs

  • Water system maintenance costs

  • Compliance costs

CAL~FLO® pricing is stable and predictable, unlike the ebb and flow of typical liquid caustic costs. Based on the average price of caustic over 5 years, CAL~FLO® is approximately $100/ton cheaper. Combining that with CAL~FLO®’s feed rate reduction produces a formula to safely control the long-term budgeting costs of your municipality or organization.
