About this file
This document is a technical product brochure from Premier Magnesia, LLC for THIOGUARD® TST, a total system treatment solution for municipal wastewater collection systems. The brochure details a comprehensive wastewater management product designed to address multiple infrastructure challenges, including gas binding, fats/oils/greases (FOG) accumulation, and system corrosion in force mains and pumping stations.
The product offers municipalities the potential to reduce pump station power costs by up to 50% annually and provides multiple operational benefits, including decreased maintenance, reduced operating power costs, minimized FOG-related sanitary sewer overflows, improved system efficiency, and neutralization of acidic corrosion. The brochure compares THIOGUARD® against traditional treatments like calcium nitrate, demonstrating how their product reduces gas emissions, dissolves grease blankets, and prevents infrastructure degradation by maintaining a neutral pH throughout the wastewater collection system. The product is marketed as a non-hazardous, environmentally safe solution manufactured and produced in the USA.

FORCE MAIN GAS BINDING
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
Pumping and conveying of wastewater from end user through the collection system to wastewater treatment plants can result in negative conditions including gas binding, blockages associated with fats, oils and greases (FOG), and system corrosion. There may be other contributing conditions, but these factors appear to be the greatest contributors to O&M costs including energy consumption, maintenance costs, and Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs).

EFFECTIVE, ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE TOTAL SYSTEM TREATMENT FOR MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER
BACKGROUND:
A collection system line is a unique conveyance system. The transfer of wastewater can result in the release of gases such as O2 – Oxygen, CO2 – Carbon Dioxide, N2 – Nitrogen Gas, H2S – Hydrogen Sulfide, CH4 – Methane, VOCs – Volatile Organic Compounds, and VOSCs – Volatile Organic Sulfur Compounds among others. Some of these gases are drawn into the system through pumping and ventilation, while others are generated within the system either chemically or biologically. These gases can result in the development of gas binding in the system, especially with the utilization of calcium nitrate, as well as contribute to odors and corrosion.

N2 gas formed in wet well can cause suction inefficiency at pump intake
FOG exacerbated by biological conditioning caused by nitrates
VFAs (Volatile Fatty Acids) are eliminated with calcium nitrate addition that are needed by PAOs (phosphorus accumulating organisms) for phosphate removal at the wastewater treatment plant.
Acid Producers & Methanogens
Bacteria use O from SO4 producing H2S gas At pH7 >50% of H2S can be liberated into the gas phase
1. Large amounts of NO3 available
2. O from NO3 used by bacteria reducing NO3 to N2 & NO

FORCE MAIN GAS BINDING DRAMATICALLY INCREASED
WITH CALCIUM NITRATE (CaNO3) ADDITION
SOLUTION:
THIOGUARD® can overcome these issues by reducing or eliminating gas emissions from wastewater, dissolving FOG blankets and reducing corrosion to pumps and infrastructure. No other product can match THIOGUARD®'s ability to neutralize both collection system surface acid and wastewater acid over short and long distances to and through the wastewater treatment plant.
