Overview

Aluminum Chlorohydrate (ACH) is a highly effective inorganic coagulant widely used in wastewater treatment for rapid coagulation and flocculation. It efficiently removes suspended solids, turbidity, color, and organic matter from industrial and municipal effluents. ACH is known for producing dense, fast-settling flocs that improve clarification processes and enhance overall treatment efficiency.

ACH is commonly applied in industries such as textile, dyeing, chemical manufacturing, paper, and municipal water treatment.

Chemical Identity

  • Chemical Name: Aluminum Chlorohydrate

  • Appearance: Clear to slightly opaque liquid, light yellow to amber in color

  • Chemical Formula: [AlCl(OH)]

  • pH (1% solution): 3.0 – 4.0

  • Specific Gravity (25°C): 1.3 – 1.4

  • Aluminum Content: Typically 9 – 12% as AlO

Key Features

  • Rapid Coagulation: Fast-acting coagulant that destabilizes suspended particles effectively

  • High Efficiency: Removes turbidity, color, and organic contaminants efficiently

  • Stable Floc Formation: Produces dense, compact flocs for easy sedimentation

  • Wide pH Range: Effective in a broad pH range (5.5 – 8.5) for wastewater treatment

  • Low Sludge Volume: Generates less sludge compared to conventional coagulants

  • Versatile Application: Suitable for both industrial and municipal wastewater treatment

Applications

  • Wastewater Treatment: Used for removal of suspended solids, turbidity, and color in ETPs and CETPs

  • Textile & Dyeing Industry: Efficient removal of dye and suspended solids from effluents

  • Chemical & Pharmaceutical Plants: Treatment of complex chemical wastewaters

  • Paper & Pulp Industry: Clarification and decolorization of process waters

  • Municipal Water Treatment: Used as a primary coagulant in drinking water and sewage treatment

Usage Guidelines

  1. Dilution: Use as supplied or dilute with water depending on system requirements

  2. Dosage: Typical dosage ranges from 10 to 100 ppm depending on water quality; jar testing recommended for optimization

  3. Application: Add to influent streams with adequate mixing to ensure proper dispersion and floc formation

  4. Handling: Ensure safe handling procedures due to acidic nature

Packaging and Storage

  • Packaging: Available in 50 kg HDPE drums, 200 kg barrels, and 1,000 kg IBC tanks
