Controlled batching features such as accurate lime/water ratios, slaking temperature, and agitation produce a homogeneous lime slurry with a fine particle size. These particles have greater surface area, allowing faster reactivity and higher lime utilization. Typically, delivery is made in 5,000 gallon truck-tankers containing 7 to 10 tons of calcium hydroxide slurry (dry weight basis) and transferred to the customers receiving/slurry storage vessel. Generally, the customer is then billed on a dry weight basis of the tons of calcium hydroxide delivered.
