Calcium nitrate, apart from its standard use as a fertilizer in agriculture, can also be used as a means
of preventing the formation of toxic hydrogen sulphide and therefore allows to eliminate the source
of unpleasant odors in the sewage network. H2S is produced by anaerobic fermentation of organic
compounds in wastewater. In the event of a lack of oxygen, bacteria begin to multiply inside the
pipe, producing hydrogen sulfide with an unpleasant smell. This process is called putrefaction and
causes the formation of foul-smelling compounds, mainly hydrogen sulfide.
Calcium nitrate in a concentration of 45% is a clear, non-foaming solution used mainly in treatment
plants. It prevents the formation of harmful hydrogen sulfide, especially in summer. It supports the
purification of waste water and is safe for human health and life.
