For a number of years, sulfuric acid was used in water treatment facilities to control alkalinity. It's a product that works, but it also has may potential problems. Sulfuric acid can be difficult to apply and control. It is potentially dangerous to store and handle.

Safety showers have to be installed and readily available to operating personnel who must wear special clothing for their protection. The extremely corrosive acid requires special material for equipment and piping. Maintenance of the system demands frequent component repairs and replacement.

Carbon dioxide on the other hand is safe to handle, easy to apply, efficient and ecologically safe. When pH control is critical to your process or effluent quality, CO2 can be a most viable alternative
A good beginning makes a good ending
