For water treatment applications,Now a Days number of alternative aluminium-based coagulants have been developed instead of Alum.
ADVANTAGES OF POLYALUMINIUM COAGULANTS over ALUM
1. The Polyaluminium coagulants in general consume considerably less alkalinity than alum.
2. Compared to alum it works effective over a broader pH range,PACl works satisfactorily over a pH range of 5.0 to 8.0.
3. In water treatment processes is the reduced concentration of sulphate added to the treated water.This directly affects SO4 levels in domestic wastewater.
4. Low levels of residual aluminium in the treated water can be achieved, typically 0.01-0.05 mg/L
5. Less sludge is produced compared to alum at an equivalent dose,
6. Compare to Alum, PACl and ACH (aluminium chlorohydrate) work extremely well at low raw water temperatures. Flocs formed from alum at low temperatures settle very slowly, whereas flocs formed from polyaluminium coagulants tend to settle equally well at low and at normal water temperatures,
6. Lower doses are required to give equivalent results to alum.
7. The increase in chloride in the treated water is much lower than the sulphate increase from alum, resulting in lower overall increases in the TDS of the treated water.
PAC=PACl
Note:
a) .the cost of Poly Aluminium Chloride is twice/thrice of Alum ( roughly the cost of PAC-$0.4/ Kg)
b).One possible disadvantage in using Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC) relates to the removal of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from water. It is well documented that effective DOC removal is possible with alum,particularly when coagulating at lower pH values using so-called “enhanced coagulation”

Hi,
Regarding your notes towards the advantages of the Polyaluminum chloride, could you give us data supporting the above claims. Thanks
Dear purchase manager,
Everything goes well with you.
Menjie chemical CO., LTD who is the biggest manufacturer of Polyaluminium chloride in china experienced in chemical more than 20 years, Annually production 15000 tons, 80% export, customer mainly from Asia, South America and Europe. Sincerely hope to build cooperation with you and your company. Free sample is ok for your test.
Catalogue as follow:
MJ-01 yellow powder 30% drinking grade
MJ-02 white powder 30% drinking grade
MJ-03 yellow/brown powder 29% industry grade
MJ-04 liquid 10%
Any question, contact us freely
Can you please let us know about the dosing levels of PACl .
for e.g,
for 1,00,000 litres = this so much of PACl can be used.
In wait of reply
regards,
SUMANTYR SHARMA.
thanks your clarification, which industry you are working, if textile process unit (dyeing unit), we can use PACl along with color removal chemical, the dosage comes around 300-700 ppm depends on depth of color, for 1,00,000 litre of effluent = 30-70 kg ,take lab trail in your side,pl ask if any further info
Can you suggest me quantum of dosage of polyaluminium chloride against ferric alum..? At present I use alum in paper industry as a pH controller & coagulant to control drain properties of pulp.
try 200 to 300 ppm, in jar test, adjust dosage level accordingly. thanks to drop your comments and visit our web page

Hai, PAC using in many times bulking and floating occurred. How can we rectify this problem?
Dear , Please help me to dosage of Poly Aluminium Chloride. Our water is 400000 litr/hour in our caugulatuin tank, what dosage of PAC. Awaiting of your valuable reply.
Regards,
Asad
take jar test try to 300 to 400 ppm
We have tried with PAC instead of Alum in our P&P industry WTP. But it not economically feasible. the results are more or less equivalent to Alum.
Thanks for the clarifications,
Please be so kindy and let me know how is the usage of Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC) and most especially Polyaluminium Chloride Sulphate (PACs) in Europe.
Thanks in advance,
Can you plzz help me too solve this problem !! Is that possible the composition for alum and PAC in coagulation process??? Wait for you reply 9737888619
Dear all
Can we use Poly Aluminum chloride for Raw water tank and settling down.
This an apartment.
hai , please contact me ...we already doing business with paper board..for pac .
