It is used in the purification and refinement of cooking fats and oils
used for cleaning facilities in dairy products industries
used in the demineralisation of water as it helps in the regeneration of ion exchangers
used as an ingredient for various pharmaceutical products such as sodium lactate
In industries where effluent water is produced, liquid lye is used as a flocculant enhancer and for PH correction
The liquid caustic soda is less dangerous compared to the solid form. However, it should still be handled with care as it irritates the skin. In large scale application, PH meters are installed at various applications to monitor PH and avoid leaching. It is therefore, perfectly safe for water and beverage production if used as required
