Understanding PAC Dosage and Application in Water Treatment Plants
Effective water treatment hinges on the correct application and dosage of chemicals like Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC). For plant operators and those responsible for chemical procurement, understanding these nuances is vital to maximizing efficiency and achieving desired water quality. As a leading manufacturer and supplier, we aim to provide practical insights for those looking to buy and use PAC effectively.
The precise dosage of PAC can vary depending on several factors, including the characteristics of the raw water (such as turbidity, pH, and temperature), the desired treatment outcome, and the specific type of PAC being used. Generally, for solid PAC, a dilution of 2%-20% by weight is recommended before dosing. For liquid PAC, this dilution can range from 5%-50% by weight. This preparation step ensures optimal dispersion and reaction within the water stream.
When determining the specific dosage, it is highly advisable to conduct a jar test or a pilot-scale flocculation test. These tests allow you to ascertain the optimal PAC dosage for your particular water source. As a general guideline, the dosage for solid PAC often falls between 1-15g per cubic meter of water, while liquid PAC may require 3-40g per cubic meter. These figures provide a starting point for your evaluation when you plan to purchase this chemical.
The application method typically involves adding the diluted PAC solution to the raw water through a dosing pump. The addition point should allow for rapid mixing to ensure uniform distribution throughout the water to be treated. Proper mixing is crucial for the formation of effective flocs. For operators, understanding these application techniques ensures the best performance from the product you buy.
Our commitment extends beyond just supplying PAC; we strive to support our customers in achieving optimal results.
