Earth Day: Sodium Acetate Carbon Source Helps WWTPs Run Green and Low-carbon

On Earth Day (April 22), the wastewater treatment industry also focuses on pollution reduction and carbon mitigation. As a high-efficiency small-molecule carbon source, sodium acetate offers fast denitrification rate and relatively low sludge yield.

It can achieve TN compliance within a shorter hydraulic retention time, indirectly reducing carbon emissions from aeration and reflux energy; compared with some carbon sources, sodium acetate dosing systems are simple and automated dosing is precise.

This helps WWTPs reduce chemical and environmental costs while maintaining compliance, aligning with green and low-carbon operation.
