Lime for environmental protection: a natural solution for safeguarding the environment

Today, lime for environmental protection is one of the most effective and sustainable solutions in the environmental sector. Through its Lime System, Fassa Bortolo has developed a comprehensive range of limes for environmental applications, meeting the growing needs of purification and treatment.

From wastewater to gaseous emissions, to the remediation of contaminated sites, lime for environmental protection proves to be an indispensable ally for those seeking high-performance, environmentally responsible solutions.

Applications of lime for environmental protection

Lime for flue gas cleaning

In flue gas abatement processes, hydrated lime is one of the main reagents. Its ability to neutralise pollutants makes it essential for waste-to-energy plants, industrial facilities and thermal power stations. Our laboratories have developed specific formulations for every type of plant, optimising the abatement process according to the target pollutants. This ensures precise emission control and a significant reduction in environmental impact.

Lime for wastewater

In wastewater treatment, lime from the Fassa Bortolo – Lime System stands out for its effectiveness in neutralising and removing critical pollutants. Our solutions deliver optimal results in the purification of industrial water, effectively removing heavy metals, sulphates, phosphates and fluorides, ensuring compliance with the strictest water quality standards.

Lime for hazardous waste and sludge treatment

Sludge management is a complex challenge that demands advanced solutions. Lime from the Fassa Bortolo – Lime System excels in remediation and inertisation processes, ensuring effective conditioning of waste materials. Whether dealing with industrial, municipal or dredging sludge, our lime for industrial and hazardous waste treatment enables efficient and safe recovery, making a tangible contribution to the circular economy.

Calcitic Quicklime

Produced through an exclusive soft burning process using biomass fuel, this lime ensures maximum reactivity and low CO₂ content. The rigorous selection of limestone and ongoing quality controls guarantee high purity for consistent, reliable performance.

Dolomitic Quicklime

With high MgO content and exceptional purity, Fassa’s Dolomitic Lime is the ideal solution for both the iron & steel industry, where it extends refractory brick life and reduces costs, and for the most demanding chemical sectors.

Oximud F and G

The Oximud line, composed of finely ground dolomitic lime, is specifically developed for sludge treatment. Its special grain size distribution ensures optimal dispersion in the treated material, while the high magnesium oxide content provides long-lasting reactivity.

Hydrated Lime

A high-purity product resulting from the rapid and complete hydration of powdered quicklime. The hydration process yields a product with extremely fine grain size and high surface area, ensuring optimal performance across a wide range of uses, from flue gas and water treatment to construction.

Fassasorb

A line of hydrated lime-based products specifically developed for the de-acidification of industrial combustion fumes. The soft burning of limestone and the hydration process result in high surface area and optimal porosity, ensuring maximum efficiency in neutralising acids and pollutants.
