05-11-2026 This article provides a practical guide to selecting the optimal Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC) grade for different water treatment applications. It explains how alumina content (26%-32%) and basicity (40%-95%) affect coagulation performance, and offers specific recommendations for drinking water, industrial wastewater (textile, paper, mining, oilfield), municipal phosphorus removal, and challenging conditions like high turbidity or low temperature. A quick reference table compares recommended Al₂O₃ levels, basicity ranges, typical dosages, and preferred manufacturing processes. The summary also covers market trends and emphasizes the importance of jar testing before full-scale procurement. Perfect for plant operators, environmental engineers, and procurement professionals seeking to optimize treatment results and reduce chemical costs.
