Hydrated Lime having higher percentage of Calcium Hydroxide (+90%) over low grade (65% Purity)Hydrated Lime :

1. REDUCED REACTION TIME : The rate of chemical reaction depends upon the degree of purity of the Chemical being used. Higher the purity , lesser would be the reaction time .
2. REDUCED CONSUMPTION : By Quantitative Analysis it is established that 1 M.T. of 90% grade Hydrated Lime is equivalent to 1.378 M.T. of 65% purity Grade . Thus there is a reduction of 37.8% in consumption.
3. REDUCED HANDLING COST ETC : By using this high purity material , handling charges inclusive manpower can be reduced by 37% due to reduction in consumption . This is a direct saving in labour cost by the same proportion.
4. REDUCED TRANSPORTATION COST : Total transportation cost for carrying Low Grade (65% Purity) Hydrated Lime = Cost of Carrying 65% Pure material + Cost of Carrying 35% impure material. Total transportation Cost for carrying High Grade (90% Purity) Hydrated Lime = Cost of carrying 90 % Pure material +Cost of carrying 10% impure material. Thus it's clear that with same transportation Cost 25% more pure material / utilizable material can be transported .
5. LESS STORAGE SPACE : As there will be reduction in consumption ,less Godown space would be required for storage purpose , there by, reducing storage problem & Inventory cost.
6. MINIMIZED DISPOSAL PROBLEM : Due to less consumption less sludge would be generated, resulting in reduced disposal cost.
