Polyaluminium chloride for water treatment
PAC on this website means polyaluminium chloride, also spelled polyaluminum chloride. It is an aluminum-based inorganic coagulant used in water and wastewater treatment. It does not mean powdered activated carbon.
Start a PAC inquiry with the intended use, required product form and a written grade specification. This makes quotations easier to review on a consistent basis.
What to specify when sourcing PAC
Include the product form, aluminum content reporting basis, basicity and any other parameters required by your specification. Ask which test methods and limits are stated for the proposed grade.
Do not treat different reporting bases or different grades as interchangeable. Give your technical team the proposed product documents alongside the purchasing specification.
Application and documentation review
Describe the water or wastewater application and the destination requirements that your project needs to meet. Request the relevant product-specific documentation for the proposed grade.
Packaging and shipment planning
Share the expected quantity, packaging preference, destination country or port and requested shipment timing. Confirm packaging, labeling, documents and commercial arrangements in the order review.
