Panfontein Calcitic Lime

Panfontein Calcitic Lime is a by-product of Rand Water’s water purification process. In the sedimentation process sludge gets pump into a disposal site at Rand Water for drying. After drying the product gets screened to the right particle size for agricultural purposes marketed in bulk as an effective soil neutraliser. The calcium is a mixture between the calcium carbonate and calcium hydroxide and the additional beneficial minerals such as magnesium and silica makes Panfontein Calcite a unique soil neutraliser and therefor delivers exceptional results in crop fields.
