TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR HYDRATED LIME

The hydrated lime shall be a refined hydrate that has a small median particle size,
good flow properties, high surface area, free of sand, and high total & available
Ca(OH)2, free of lumps or other foreign matter which might interfere with the
operation of the chemical feed facilities.
Hydrated lime shall meet the following industry standards:
AWWA standard B202-02
Certified to NSF standard 60
Certified to ASTM standards C977-03, C1097-06a, C207-06 (type N only), and C91106
