Polyaluminium Chloride vs. Alum: A Superior Choice
For decades, aluminum sulfate, commonly known as alum, has been a workhorse in the water treatment industry. However, with advancements in chemical technology, Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC) has emerged as a superior alternative, offering enhanced performance and environmental benefits. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is at the forefront of this transition, providing high-quality PAC that surpasses traditional coagulants.
The core difference lies in the chemical structure and the resulting performance. PAC is a pre-polymerized inorganic coagulant, meaning it contains aluminum in a more polymerized and highly charged form. This advanced structure allows PAC to neutralize turbidity and impurities more effectively at lower dosages compared to alum. When considering the benefits of Polyaluminium Chloride over alum, several key advantages come to light. Firstly, PAC typically forms larger and denser flocs, which settle faster. This improves the efficiency of sedimentation processes and reduces the load on downstream filtration systems.
Secondly, a significant environmental and operational advantage of PAC is its reduced sludge production. Alum often generates a greater volume of sludge, which can be costly and challenging to dispose of. PAC, by contrast, produces less sludge, lowering disposal expenses and making the treatment process more sustainable. Moreover, PAC generally leaves lower levels of residual aluminum in the treated water. While aluminum is a natural element, minimizing its residual concentration is a key aspect of water quality management, and PAC excels in this regard. This makes it a more favorable option for both potable water and sensitive industrial applications.
