Polyaluminium Chloride used in many
industry applications

Polyaluminium chloride (PAC) is a chemical compound used primarily as a coagulant in water treatment processes. Here are some of its uses:

  1. Water Treatment: Polyaluminium chloride is widely used in the treatment of drinking water and wastewater. It acts as a coagulant, facilitating the removal of suspended solids, organic matter, and microorganisms from water by causing them to clump together and settle out. This process, known as coagulation-flocculation, helps clarify the water and improve its quality.
  2. Effluent Treatment: PAC is used in various industrial processes for treating effluent and wastewater before discharge into the environment. It aids in the removal of pollutants such as heavy metals, oils, and organic compounds, reducing the environmental impact of industrial discharges.
  3. Paper and Pulp Industry: PAC finds applications in the paper and pulp industry as a retention and drainage aid during the papermaking process. It improves the retention of fine particles and fibers in the paper pulp, leading to enhanced paper strength, formation, and dewatering efficiency.
  4. Textile Industry: In the textile industry, PAC is used as a coagulant in wastewater treatment to remove dyes, pigments, and other contaminants from textile dyeing and finishing processes. It helps meet environmental regulations and reduce the ecological footprint of textile manufacturing operations.
  5. Chemical Manufacturing: PAC may be employed in various chemical manufacturing processes as a flocculant or coagulant to assist in solid-liquid separation and purification. It can help recover valuable products from process streams and minimize waste generation.
  6. Municipal and Industrial Applications: PAC is utilized in both municipal and industrial water treatment plants, including potable water treatment, industrial process water treatment, and wastewater treatment for sectors such as mining, oil and gas, food and beverage, and pharmaceuticals.
