To harness the full potential of Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC) in water treatment, understanding its proper application and handling is essential. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers guidance on best practices to ensure optimal performance and safety.

The first step in effectively using PAC is often a 'jar test'. This laboratory procedure helps determine the optimal dosage of PAC required for specific water conditions. Factors such as turbidity, pH, temperature, and the nature of contaminants all influence the ideal dosage. Without a jar test, it's difficult to ascertain the exact amount needed, potentially leading to under-dosing (ineffective treatment) or over-dosing (wasted product and potential issues).

How to use polyaluminium chloride effectively also involves careful attention to pH control. PAC is most efficient within a specific pH range, typically between 5 and 9, with optimal performance often observed in the neutral range. If the source water is highly acidic or alkaline, adjustments may be necessary before or during PAC addition. Alkaline substances can be added to acidic water, and acidic substances to alkaline water, to bring the pH into the desired range. Proper pH adjustment maximizes the coagulant's ability to destabilize and aggregate impurities.

When adding PAC, ensuring thorough mixing is crucial. Whether using solid PAC or a pre-prepared solution, adequate agitation helps distribute the coagulant evenly throughout the water. This ensures maximum contact with the suspended particles, promoting the formation of well-defined flocs. Stirring for 1-3 minutes at a moderate speed is generally recommended.

Storage is another critical aspect of PAC utilization. To maintain its efficacy, PAC should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Containers must be kept sealed to prevent caking and degradation. It's also important to store PAC separately from incompatible chemicals, such as strong acids and bases, to avoid dangerous reactions. Following these storage recommendations for PAC ensures its longevity and performance.

By adhering to these guidelines, users can confidently employ Polyaluminium Chloride to achieve superior water quality, making it a vital component in any comprehensive water treatment strategy.
