POLY ALUMINIUM CHLORIDE POWDER

Product Introduction

POLY ALUMINIUM CHLORIDE POWDER, manufactured by Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Limited (GACL), is a versatile coagulant widely used in various industrial applications, particularly in the oil and gas sector. This chemical is crucial for enhancing water quality and is extensively utilized in processes such as oil field water treatment, drilling mud formulation, and wastewater management. Its medium basicity of 40-60% makes it an effective agent for removing impurities from water, thereby improving the efficiency of oil extraction and processing operations. Kivi Chemicals supplies this high-quality coagulant across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and the wider East African region, meeting the growing demand for reliable chemical solutions in the oil and gas industry.

Detailed Product Overview

Poly Aluminium Chloride Powder, with the chemical formula Al2(OH)nCl6-n, is a versatile coagulant widely used in water treatment processes. Its medium basicity, ranging from 40-60%, makes it particularly effective in coagulation and flocculation, crucial for removing suspended particles and impurities from water. The product's appearance as a white to pale yellow powder, combined with its solubility in water, facilitates its integration into diverse industrial applications. The aluminum content of approximately 10-12% enhances its efficacy in treating water with high turbidity, ensuring efficient sedimentation and clarity. This chemical's performance is further supported by its density of 0.8 - 1.0 g/cm³, making it manageable for bulk handling and application. In East Africa's oil and gas sector, Poly Aluminium Chloride Powder plays a crucial role in oil field water treatment and wastewater management. Its ability to effectively coagulate and flocculate contaminants makes it indispensable in drilling mud formulations and water treatment in refineries. The chemical's medium basicity allows it to adapt to varying water conditions, ensuring consistent performance across different applications. Its effectiveness in removing impurities and reducing turbidity helps in maintaining operational efficiency and environmental compliance, which is vital for industries operating under stringent regulatory standards. The powder's solubility and pH range of 4.0 - 5.0 in a 1% solution make it suitable for diverse treatment processes. The Medium Basicity grade of Poly Aluminium Chloride Powder is tailored for industrial and institutional applications, offering a balance between performance and cost-effectiveness. Buyers should verify the product's aluminum content, which should be approximately 10-12%, and ensure that the moisture content does not exceed the maximum limit of 5%. The bulk density should be within the specified range of 0.5 - 0.7 g/cm³ to guarantee ease of handling and consistent dosing. It is advisable to check the powder's appearance, ensuring it aligns with the white to pale yellow specification, as this can be indicative of product purity and quality. Proper handling and storage of Poly Aluminium Chloride Powder are essential to maintain its integrity and effectiveness. The product is typically supplied in 25 kg polypropylene bags, which protect it from moisture and contamination during transport and storage. It should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat, to prevent any degradation of its chemical properties. When receiving shipments, it is crucial to inspect the packaging for any signs of damage or moisture ingress, which could compromise the product's quality. Kivi Chemicals ensures that all shipments meet industry standards, providing reliable supply across the East African market.
