Liquid Sodium Acetate

Liquid sodium acetate — basically sodium acetate pre-dissolved and ready to pump, no mixing step required. We're talking 20%, 25%, or 30% concentrations, purpose-built for the wastewater industry. The problem it solves is pretty straightforward: treatment plants need a carbon source for denitrification, and they don't want to deal with powder handling, dust, dissolution tanks, or any of that overhead.

Denitrifying bacteria love this stuff. They take it up faster than methanol or glucose, nitrogen removal rates are noticeably higher, and the effluent COD stays low. No secondary pollution. No special handling nightmares. It's not flammable, it's not toxic, it's not something your operators need hazmat training to work with.

Spec rundown: 20%, 25%, or 30% CH3COONa content, clear colorless liquid, pH neutral to mildly alkaline (7.5–9.5 for a 1% dilution), density 1.08–1.15 g/cm³ depending on concentration. Freezing behavior depends on strength — the 20% version starts misbehaving below -5°C, so factor that in if you're in a cold region. The 30% holds up a bit better.

Packaging options match how you run your plant: 1000 L IBC totes for medium-volume dosing, or bulk tanker for the big municipal setups. The product classifies as non-hazardous, so transport and on-site storage are straightforward.

Where's it actually deployed? Municipal wastewater plants — especially ones staring down tighter nitrogen discharge limits — use it as a supplementary carbon source when the influent C/N ratio is too lean for effective denitrification. It also pulls duty in industrial effluent treatment, pH adjustment, pipeline corrosion buffering, and sludge conditioning.

FAQS:

Which concentration should I order? Depends on your dosing setup and storage space. 20% is common for plants running IBC tote dosing systems. 30% makes sense when storage footprint is tight.

Is it a methanol replacement? Absolutely. It's safer — non-flammable — and the biology responds faster. No special storage protocols needed.

Bulk delivery? Yep, tanker trucks for the large orders, IBC totes for smaller runs.
