In the critical field of water treatment, selecting the right coagulant is paramount for achieving desired purity levels and operational efficiency. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers both Ferric Sulfate and Ferric Chloride, two widely used inorganic coagulants based on trivalent iron. While both serve similar primary functions in destabilizing suspended particles, they possess distinct characteristics that influence their application and performance.

Ferric Sulfate (Fe₂(SO₄)₃) is often favored for its high Fe3+ content and readily soluble nature, making it easy to handle and highly effective in forming dense flocs. It is known for its strong performance in removing turbidity, color, and heavy metals. A significant advantage of Ferric Sulfate is its generally lower contribution to water corrosivity compared to chloride-based coagulants, making it a preferred choice in systems where metal corrosion is a concern. Furthermore, it is often associated with producing less sludge that is more easily dewatered. Our Ferric Sulfate product meets rigorous standards, including NSF certification for drinking water applications, underscoring its safety and reliability.

Ferric Chloride (FeCl₃), on the other hand, is also a highly effective coagulant, particularly noted for its rapid action, especially in colder water temperatures. It is a common and generally cost-effective option for many water and wastewater treatment scenarios. However, a key consideration with Ferric Chloride is the presence of chloride ions. These ions can increase the salinity and corrosivity of the treated water and associated infrastructure. This potential for increased corrosion means that careful material selection for storage and feeding equipment is necessary. While effective, its tendency to increase chloride levels can sometimes limit its application in sensitive systems or those with strict salinity discharge limits.

When comparing the two, Ferric Sulfate often presents a more balanced profile, offering high coagulant efficiency with fewer drawbacks related to corrosivity and salinity. Its strong floc-forming capabilities and established performance in both potable and industrial water treatment make it a highly versatile choice. While Ferric Chloride remains a viable and cost-effective option for many applications, understanding these differences is crucial for optimal selection.
