Procurement guide for high quality polyaluminum chloride

Release time: 2025-08-01


1. Screening of core quality indicators

  1. Alumina content (AlO)
  • Industrial grade: 28% (plate frame/spray type), drinking water grade: 30%;
  • Note: High content (30%) may be ineffective in acidic/low turbidity water and should be matched to the water quality
  1. Adjust the salinity
  • High salt base (80%-90%): high turbidity wastewater (coal washing, printing and dyeing);
  • Low salt base (45%-60%): drinking water/low turbidity wastewater, anti-return to turbidity.
  1. Appearance and impurity control
  • Quality characteristics: light yellow/golden yellow particles, insoluble matter in water 0.6% (spray type 0.3%);
  • Industrial grade: brown, water insoluble matter 1.5%.
  1. PH adaptability 
  • Scope of application: pH 5-9, beyond the range needs adjustment.

II. Key points of supplier evaluation

Assessment dimensions

Key requirements

Qualification verification

Check the production license and ISO certification, and give priority to spray process manufacturers

Price reference

Spray drying type (30%-32%): 1300-1600 yuan/ton; 28% products with less than 600 yuan/ton have the risk of false labeling

Sample testing

The same method was used to make a beaker experiment to observe the formation speed and sedimentation effect of flocs

 customized service 

Supports salt base degree /PHD customization (e.g. 45% salt base degree for drinking water grade)

3. Optimization of procurement process

A [requirement analysis] --> B [supplier screening] --> C [sample testing] --> D [contract terms negotiation] --> E [delivery quality inspection] --> F [after-sales tracking]

 critical control point 

  1. Contract terms: specify the penalty for delayed delivery (such as withholding the deposit + refusal to settle accounts);
  2. Quality inspection standard: arrival test alumina content/salinity, deviation>2% can be rejected;
  3. Payment method: "payment in the next month after goods arrive" is preferred.

IV. Technical parameters and packaging requirements

 project 

 ask 

 surface 

Yellow granular (uniform pale yellow for drinking water grade)

 content 

26% (industrial grade), drinking water grade 30%

 packing specifications 

25kg/bag, in line with national standard

Document requirements

The product qualification certificate and health permit shall be attached with the goods

V. Risk Avoidance and Case Reference

  • Environmental risk: regular detection of aluminum ion residues in water;
  • Operational safety: wear protective equipment and avoid skin contact with solution;
  •  successful case 
    1. Changsha Water Supply Company uses 30% spray type PAC, and the water quality standard rate is more than 99.5%;
    2. Electroplating plant wastewater treatment: 28% plate frame PAC consumption 0.5-2kg/ton water, COD removal rate>85%.

VI. Quick Reference Table for Procurement Decisions

 dimension 

 priority option 

Key points to avoid

Content process

Drinking water> 30% spray drying type

Refuse suppliers who do not provide a test report on content

 supplier 

Free samples + customized service

Verify performance contracts for the past year

 agreement 

Clear quality inspection standards + penalty clauses

Avoid "full payment in advance"

Through structured procurement strategies, enterprises can reduce costs by 15%-30% and improve processing efficiency. It is recommended to carry out small tests (such as beaker experiments) combined with water quality to select the optimal solution.
