Selecting the most effective coagulant is a critical decision for any water treatment facility. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we frequently guide our clients through this choice, often highlighting the superior advantages of Poly Aluminum Ferric Chloride (PAFC) when compared to traditional options such as Polyaluminum Chloride (PAC) and Ferric Chloride (FeCl3).

Traditional coagulants like PAC and Ferric Chloride have long been staples in water treatment. PAC is known for its efficiency in removing turbidity and its wide pH applicability. Ferric Chloride, on the other hand, is effective over a broad pH range and excellent for phosphate removal. However, PAFC, as a composite inorganic polymer, merges the strengths of both and offers additional benefits.

One of the primary distinctions lies in PAFC's performance consistency. While PAC can be sensitive to variations in water temperature and pH, PAFC demonstrates remarkable adaptability. It performs exceptionally well in challenging conditions, including low temperature water treatment, which is a significant advantage in many regions. Its broad pH application range further simplifies operations, reducing the need for extensive pH adjustments often required with other coagulants.

In terms of contaminant removal, PAFC often outperforms its counterparts. Beyond standard turbidity and color removal, PAFC has shown particular efficacy in addressing emerging contaminants. For instance, its capability in antimony removal is a critical advantage, offering a solution to a problem that can be more challenging for conventional coagulants.

From an environmental and economic standpoint, PAFC presents a compelling case. Its higher efficiency often means that lower dosages are required to achieve the same or better results compared to PAC or Ferric Chloride. This reduction in chemical usage not only lowers operational costs but also leads to less sludge generation. This makes PAFC a more environmentally friendly coagulant and a more cost effective water treatment solution in the long run.

When dealing with high levels of impurities, particularly in scenarios of high turbidity water treatment, PAFC's combined aluminum and iron chemistry provides a more robust flocculation mechanism. This results in faster settling rates and more efficient removal of suspended solids.

Choosing the right coagulant impacts everything from water quality to operational costs and environmental footprint. While PAC and Ferric Chloride remain viable options, the advanced capabilities of PAFC in terms of adaptability, contaminant removal (like antimony), and environmental benefits make it a superior choice for many modern water treatment challenges. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is dedicated to providing these advanced solutions to ensure optimal water quality.
