Description
Poly Aluminium Chloride: Premium Water Treatment Coagulant
Poly Aluminium Chloride (PAC) is a polymeric inorganic compound used extensively as a coagulant in drinking water treatment, industrial wastewater purification, and sludge dewatering processes. It acts by destabilizing colloidal particles and promoting aggregation, facilitating easy removal of impurities through sedimentation or filtration. Compared to traditional coagulants like alum and ferric chloride, PAC offers higher efficiency, operates effectively over a broader pH range, and produces less sludge.

Benefits of Using PAC for Water Treatment
✔ High Coagulation Efficiency Rapid destabilization of colloids and fine particles leads to superior clarity and turbidity removal.
✔ Wide pH Range Compatibility Effective coagulation performance in pH ranges from 5 to 9, accommodating various water chemistries.
✔ Low Sludge Production Generates less sludge compared to traditional coagulants, reducing disposal costs.
✔ Cost-Effective Lower dosage requirements and improved treatment efficiency reduce operational costs.
✔ Environmentally Friendly Produces less residual aluminum in treated water, meeting environmental discharge standards.
✔ Stable & Easy to Use Long shelf life and easy handling in liquid or powder form.
Application Guidelines & Dosage Recommendations
Dosage Recommendations:
- Drinking water: 5-30 mg/L depending on turbidity
- Wastewater: 10-100 mg/L depending on contamination level
- Industrial effluent: Adjusted based on specific treatment requirements
Preparation & Mixing:
