In today's environmentally conscious industrial landscape, sustainable practices are not just a regulatory requirement but a strategic imperative. Water treatment is a critical area where environmental performance can be significantly enhanced through the selection of appropriate chemicals. Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC), a highly effective inorganic polymer coagulant, offers compelling environmental benefits when used in industrial water treatment processes. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is proud to supply PAC that contributes to a cleaner and healthier environment.

Reduced Sludge Volume and Improved Dewaterability

One of the most significant environmental advantages of using PAC (CAS 1327-41-9) over traditional coagulants like aluminum sulfate is the substantial reduction in sludge volume produced. Traditional coagulants often generate large amounts of amorphous aluminum hydroxide sludge, which can be difficult to dewater and costly to dispose of. PAC, due to its specific chemical structure and lower dosage requirements, tends to form denser and more compact flocs. This characteristic not only improves the efficiency of solid-liquid separation but also enhances the dewaterability of the resulting sludge. Consequently, industries using PAC can experience:

  • Lower Disposal Costs: Less sludge means reduced transportation and landfilling expenses, directly impacting operational costs and environmental footprint.
  • Reduced Landfill Burden: Minimizing the volume of industrial waste sent to landfills aligns with broader sustainability goals.
  • Potential for Resource Recovery: In some cases, the nature of PAC-formed sludge may make it more amenable to processing or even resource recovery compared to sludge from conventional coagulants.

Enhanced Removal of Contaminants for Cleaner Effluents

PAC's efficacy in charge neutralization and flocculation leads to the superior removal of a wide range of contaminants from industrial wastewater. This results in cleaner effluents that better meet stringent environmental discharge standards. Specifically:

  • Reduced Turbidity and Suspended Solids: PAC effectively clarifies water by removing fine suspended particles that contribute to turbidity, ensuring discharged water is visually cleaner.
  • Effective Color Removal: Many industrial processes, such as textile dyeing, produce highly colored wastewater. PAC is highly effective in destabilizing and aggregating dye molecules, significantly reducing color in effluent.
  • Removal of Other Pollutants: Depending on the specific formulation and process conditions, PAC can also contribute to the removal of certain heavy metals and organic compounds, further protecting aquatic ecosystems.

Broader pH Operating Window and Reduced Chemical Usage

PAC’s ability to perform effectively over a wide pH range (typically 5-9) is another environmental benefit. Traditional coagulants often require significant pH adjustment using acids or bases to achieve optimal performance. This process consumes additional chemicals, generates more wastewater (from neutralization), and can contribute to changes in water chemistry. By minimizing or eliminating the need for such extensive pH adjustments, PAC:

  • Reduces Chemical Consumption: Less usage of auxiliary chemicals means less chemical manufacturing impact and fewer chemicals being introduced into the water system.
  • Simplifies Treatment Processes: This reduction in chemical inputs leads to a more streamlined and environmentally benign treatment process.
