What is poly Aluminium chloride (PAC)?

Poly Aluminium Chloride (PAC) is most commonly used in the water treatment industry as a coagulant. It is characterised by the degree of basification – the higher this number the higher the polymer content which equals a more efficient product in the clarification of water products.

What does PAC stand for in water treatment?

Clear to slightly yellow in colour it is also referred to as PAC, PAX, or Polyaluminium Hydroxide Chloride Sulphate Solution. What is the use of Poly aluminium chloride? Poly Aluminium Chloride (PAC) is most commonly used in the water treatment industry as a coagulant.

Is polyaluminium chloride better than polyelectrolyte – alum-based coagulation?

At the Barekese Water Treatment Plant in Ghana, an alternative, the polyelectrolyte – polyaluminium chloride (PAC) is also used in coagulation but limited information is available on the operating conditions required to achieve better performance than alum-based coagulation.

Why is PAC used in drinking water & industrial wastewater treatment?

PAC’s widespread use in drinking water and industrial wastewater treatment is due to several key benefits: High Efficiency: PAC has a higher coagulation efficiency compared to traditional coagulants like aluminum sulfate and ferric chloride.

What is Pac?

Poly Aluminium Chloride (PAC) is a group of aluminium chlorohydrates with the general formula [Al2 (OH)nCl6-n]m. This polymeric inorganic coagulant finds extensive use in the treatment of water and wastewater.

What is poly aluminum chloride?

Poly Aluminium Chloride (PAC) is a highly efficient coagulant with the chemical formula [Al2(OH)nCl6-n]. It is widely used in water treatment processes to remove suspended solids, organic matter, and other contaminants.
