How is polyaluminium chloride dosed?

This was dramatically improved, to over 90%, by dosing polyaluminium chloride. PAC is directly and continuously dosed from the containers in which it is delivered at a rate of about 0.1ml/m 3 of the circulation flow. (It is very important that it is not diluted with water as it will form a gel.)

How should Pac be dosed in a peristaltic pump?

PAC should be dosed continuously using a peristaltic pump. All grades of PAC should be dosed at a rate of 0.1ml/m 3 of the total flow rate. PWTAG Technical Note released in February 2014 about polyaluminium chloride (PAC) dosing. Continuous coagulation with PAC is recommended by PWTAG.

What is the coagulation removal rate of polyaluminium chloride (PAC)?

Without coagulation removal rates in a single pass of a medium-rate filter were about 50%. This was dramatically improved, to over 90%, by dosing polyaluminium chloride. PAC is directly and continuously dosed from the containers in which it is delivered at a rate of about 0.1ml/m 3 of the circulation flow.

What is polyaluminium chloride (PAC)?

Polyaluminium chloride (PAC) is a widely used water treatment chemical. It has a wide range of PH adaptation and it is not easy to produce color or other side effects. After the use of poly aluminum chloride, the content of iron, manganese and other heavy metals in water is low, which has a little corrosive effect on the equipment.

How is Pac dosed?

PAC is directly and continuously dosed from the containers in which it is delivered at a rate of about 0.1ml/m 3 of the circulation flow. (It is very important that it is not diluted with water as it will form a gel.) This must be mixed as evenly as possible throughout the water flow.

What is a normal dosing rate for pwtag PAC?

PWTAG recommends a normal dosing rate of 0.1ml/m 3 of the total flow rate, which it has also described as 0.005ml/m 3 as aluminium. There are now a number of different grades of PAC with aluminium concentrations between 9.5% and 18%. The concentration of aluminium is not the only consideration when selecting a grade of PAC to use.
