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.
