Optimizing Water Treatment: A Deep Dive into Poly Aluminium Chloride (PAC) Dosing and Storage
Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC) is a critical component in effective water treatment, and understanding its proper application and storage is paramount to achieving optimal results. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., as a dedicated supplier of high-quality water treatment chemicals, emphasizes the importance of correct usage to ensure both performance and safety.
When using PAC, a key aspect is determining the correct dosage. This is often achieved through jar testing, which allows for the precise calculation of the optimal PAC concentration needed for specific water conditions. PAC can be added directly to the water body or pre-configured into a solution for application. The latter, while involving an extra step, often yields superior coagulation effects. When preparing a solution, it is crucial to use the product within 24 hours to maintain its efficacy. Controlling the pH of the water is also vital; PAC performs best within a specific pH range, and adjustments may be necessary depending on the initial water quality. Proper mixing and stirring, typically for 1-3 minutes at moderate speeds, are essential to ensure the PAC fully contacts suspended solids and colloids, promoting the formation of large, easily settleable flocs. Attention to water temperature is also advised, as colder temperatures can slow down the coagulation process.
Storage of PAC requires careful consideration to maintain its quality and prevent degradation. PAC should be stored in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area, with containers kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and caking. It is imperative to avoid direct sunlight and high temperatures, which can lead to clumping and affect product performance. Storing PAC separately from incompatible chemicals, such as strong acids and bases, is a critical safety measure to prevent hazardous reactions. Regular inspection of storage containers for any signs of damage or wear is recommended. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides PAC in robust packaging to ensure it reaches customers in optimal condition. Businesses looking to purchase PAC can rely on our expertise for guidance on best practices, ensuring they maximize the benefits of this essential water treatment chemical. We offer competitive pricing for bulk PAC orders, making it an accessible solution for enhancing water quality.
