What is polyaluminium chloride?

Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC) is an inorganic polymer coagulant. It is a yellow solid powder that is widely used in water treatments. PAC is better than other aluminum salts such as aluminium chloride, aluminium sulphate, and other various forms of Polyaluminium chlorisulfate and Polyaluminium chloride that they have lower charge than PAC.

Who makes polyaluminum chloride?

USALCO® has manufactured chemicals for over 60 years, and began full scale production of the patented process (US Patents 5,985,234; 5,997,838; 6,036,935 and Canadian Patent 2229266) for manufacturing Polyaluminum Chloride in 1996. USALCO manufactures a variety of Polyaluminum Chlorides to meet a wide range of water quality objectives.

How long does polyaluminium chloride take to precipitate?

Stable PAC needs at least 9 weeks at 30o to precipitate. The presence of water during the process will be evaporated in the reactor that produces steam. Finally, Polyalumunium chloride contains more than 50% Al2O3. Polyaluminium chloride is used in the treatment of drinking portable water and wastewater treatment.
