Alkalinity addition

Alkalinity addition involves adding substances like buffers or alkalis to water to increase its ability to neutralize acids. This process helps stabilize pH levels, preventing sudden drops that can harm aquatic life, corrosion equipment, or affect water quality. It’s a common practice in water treatment to ensure the water remains balanced and safe for distribution or environmental discharge. Essentially, alkalinity acts as a safeguard, maintaining consistent water conditions by counteracting acidity changes through careful addition of chemical agents.
