Ensuring the safety and quality of drinking water is a fundamental public health imperative. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. highlights the indispensable role of Aluminum Chlorohydrate (ACH) as a modern coagulant that significantly contributes to achieving high-quality potable water standards.

The process of transforming raw water into safe drinking water involves several critical steps, with coagulation and flocculation being paramount. ACH, a highly polymerized inorganic aluminum salt, excels in these stages. Its unique structure provides a high cationic charge density, which is highly effective at neutralizing the negative charges found on suspended particles, organic matter, and other impurities present in raw water sources like rivers and lakes.

When introduced into water, ACH rapidly destabilizes these contaminants, promoting the formation of larger, denser flocs. These flocs effectively trap smaller particles, bacteria, and even certain dissolved organic compounds. The enhanced flocculation process facilitated by ACH leads to a more efficient sedimentation stage, where the larger flocs settle out of the water column more quickly and completely than those formed by traditional coagulants.

This efficiency translates directly into improved finished water quality. ACH is particularly adept at reducing turbidity, a measure of water cloudiness, to very low levels, often below the stringent regulatory requirements. This clarity is not just aesthetic; it also removes sites where harmful microorganisms can hide, thereby improving the overall effectiveness of subsequent disinfection processes.

Moreover, ACH’s high basicity means it has a minimal impact on the pH of the treated water. Maintaining a stable pH is important for preventing corrosion in distribution systems and ensuring the effectiveness of disinfection. By reducing the need for pH adjustment chemicals, ACH contributes to a simpler, more cost-effective, and environmentally friendly treatment process.

The consistent performance of ACH across varying water temperatures and raw water qualities makes it a reliable choice for municipal water treatment plants. Its ability to efficiently remove contaminants like TOC (Total Organic Carbon) and its potential to aid in the removal of specific ions and heavy metals further underscore its importance in producing safe and palatable drinking water.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to supporting water utilities in their mission to deliver clean water. By understanding and utilizing the advanced capabilities of Aluminum Chlorohydrate, water treatment professionals can ensure the production of high-quality drinking water that meets and exceeds public health standards.
