Lime dosing helps neutralize the acidity of winery effluent, which often has a low pH due to fermentation processes. It promotes the precipitation of suspended solids, making them easier to remove. The process also enhances the breakdown of organic matter by creating a more favorable pH for microbial activity. Excess lime can form **calcium salts**, which aid in reducing odors in the effluent. Plus, lime dosing is a cost-effective way to stabilize wastewater before further treatment or reuse!
