Aqualun® aluminium sulphate
DEQUACHIM specialises in the production and marketing of aluminium salts in solution.
Aluminium sulphate, manufactured and marketed under the name Aqualun®, is an acid inorganic coagulant prepared from aluminium hydroxide (ATH) and sulfuric acid.
Aqualun® is commonly used in municipal and industrial water treatment plants and also for the treatment of drinking water.
Aqualun® is a great alternative to FeCl3 and PAC. With the shortage of chlorine in Europe since September 2022, Aqualun® responds perfectly to the lack of coagulants on the market and allows water players to continue their activity with a better cost and excellent results.
Aqualun® is much less corrosive and dangerous compared to the use of other salts and offers the same result.
Aqualun® works by neutralising negative charges by forming flocs that precipitate suspended solids, resulting in a lesser turbidity and removing TOC and BOD.
Aqualun® is also used in the paper industry, in fertilisers, in the manufacture of titanium dioxide-based pigments and in aluminas.
Aqualun® is a filtered solution, clear and low in iron.
It meets the specifications of the EN878 standard (chemicals used for the treatment of water intended for human consumption).
