Ensuring the safety and quality of drinking water is a top priority for public health and well-being. Polyaluminum Chloride (PAC) has become a cornerstone in modern drinking water purification due to its exceptional coagulating properties. However, not all PAC products are created equal, especially when it comes to applications involving potable water. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we understand the critical need for high-purity PAC and provide solutions that meet the most stringent standards. This article explores the importance of selecting the right PAC for drinking water treatment.

The primary function of PAC in drinking water treatment is to remove turbidity, color, and organic contaminants. Raw water sources often contain microscopic suspended particles, dissolved organic matter, and other impurities that affect clarity, taste, and safety. PAC works by neutralizing the negative charges of these particles, causing them to aggregate into larger flocs. These flocs are then easily removed through sedimentation and filtration, resulting in clear, safe, and aesthetically pleasing drinking water. The key to effective drinking water purification lies in the efficiency and purity of the PAC used.

When sourcing PAC for drinking water applications, several criteria are paramount. Firstly, the purity of the product is critical. High-purity PAC typically exhibits lower levels of impurities, such as heavy metals (like lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury) and other undesirable by-products from the manufacturing process. These impurities, even in trace amounts, can be harmful if introduced into the potable water supply. Therefore, selecting PAC that conforms to strict national and international standards for drinking water treatment chemicals is essential. For example, products meeting standards like GB15892-2009 or NSF/ANSI 60 are preferred.

Secondly, the basicity of the PAC plays a significant role in its performance and the quality of the treated water. Basicity refers to the ratio of hydroxyl groups to aluminum ions in the PAC molecule. Higher basicity generally indicates a higher degree of polymerization and a more stable, efficient coagulant. Products with higher basicity often require lower dosages, produce less sludge, and contribute to lower residual aluminum levels in the treated water, all of which are beneficial for drinking water applications. When you buy Polyaluminum Chloride for drinking water, inquire about its basicity and Al2O3 content.

Thirdly, the physical form and dissolution rate are important considerations. While PAC is available in both liquid and powder forms, spray-dried powder PAC is often preferred for drinking water treatment due to its fast dissolution rate and lower water-insoluble matter. This ensures rapid and efficient dispersion in the treatment process, contributing to consistent water quality. We offer spray-dried PAC options that are ideal for your potable water needs.
