Coagulation Chemical

Coagulation Chemicals are substances used in water treatment processes to destabilize suspended particles, enabling them to clump together and form larger particles, called flocs. These flocs can then be easily removed through sedimentation or filtration.

Key Features:

Common Chemicals: Typically include aluminum sulfate (alum), ferric chloride, ferric sulfate, and polymeric coagulants.

Function: Coagulation neutralizes the charge on particles, allowing them to bind together and form larger aggregates.

Effectiveness: Works in combination with flocculants to enhance the removal of contaminants.

Versatility: Used in various water sources, including municipal, industrial, and wastewater treatment plants.

Benefits:

Improves Water Quality: Removes suspended solids, organic matter, and colloidal particles, leading to clearer water.

Cost-Effective: Reduces the need for expensive filtration processes.

Efficient: Works well at low concentrations and accelerates the coagulation process.
