Choosing the Right PAC for Water Treatment: What You Need to Know

When it comes to water treatment, finding the right chemical coagulant is crucial for achieving the best results. Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC) is often the go-to solution for improving water quality. But with so many options available, how do you assess its quality?

What is PAC?

Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC) is a highly effective coagulant used in water treatment processes. It works by aggregating impurities, helping remove them from water and making the water clear again.

How to Evaluate Its Quality?

Not all PAC products are the same, and quality can vary significantly. When evaluating PAC, it’s essential to consider factors like impurities, solution clarity, and the amount of sludge generated. These factors directly impact both the performance of the product and the overall operational costs of your water treatment system.

How to Evaluate PAC for Water Treatment?

The purpose of all chemicals is to solve the user’s problems; a good product is one that addresses those problems.

When purchasing chemicals, think from the user’s perspective, considering overall operational costs. Don’t create new problems while solving existing ones. Our goal is to fully resolve user issues and bring better benefits to them.

When choosing the right PAC for your water treatment needs, several factors should be considered:

Compare the treatment cost per ton of water:

While some cheaper PAC products may appear more affordable upfront, it’s important to evaluate the long-term operational costs.

The effectiveness of the treatment and the clarity of the water after treatment.
Impurities and Clarity:

A clear solution not only ensures better performance but also reduces the likelihood of clogging pipes or damaging equipment.

Sludge Generation and sledge disposal costs:

Sludge formation can lead to increased operational costs, as it needs to be managed and disposed of properly. Lower-quality PAC products may generate more sludge, raising the overall treatment costs.

No product is universally perfect; it all depends on the specific needs of each user and wastewater discharge rules in different countries. The best product is the one that fits the situation.
