Hi Pablo,

SMBS is commonly used in the desalination industry as a dechlorination chemical prior to the membranes and also as an oxygen scavenger.

If your issue with the wastewater is solely the residual concentration of SMBS - perhaps you can try to introduce air aeration and the oxygen would react with the SBS formed from the hydrolysis of SMBS.

If you desire quick reaction, then sodium hypochlorite would be another choice that would give a much faster reaction.

Hope this helps.

regards,

Junfeng
