NSF Standard 60 Aluminum Chlorohydrate Powder for Potable Water Purification

Product Overview

Bluwat Chemicals supplies NSF Standard 60 Aluminum Chlorohydrate Powder for potable water purification, municipal water clarification, and drinking water treatment systems. Aluminum Chlorohydrate Powder, also known as Aluminum Hydroxychloride Powder, Aluminum Chlorhydrol Powder, or ACH Powder, is a highly concentrated aluminum-based coagulant with high Al2O3 content and high basicity.

As one of the most concentrated products in the polyaluminum coagulant family, ACH Powder provides strong charge neutralization and efficient floc formation. It is especially suitable for water treatment plants that need stable clarification performance, reduced chemical dosage, and reliable operation under changing raw water conditions.

For potable water purification, coagulant quality and consistency are very important. NSF Standard 60 Aluminum Chlorohydrate Powder is designed for drinking water applications where safety, performance, and process stability are required.

What Is Aluminum Chlorohydrate Powder?

Aluminum Chlorohydrate Powder is an inorganic polymer coagulant used to remove suspended solids, colloidal particles, turbidity, color, and organic matter from water. Its molecular formula is Al2(OH)5Cl·2H2O, and it has a high level of basicity and aluminum content.

When added to raw water, ACH Powder forms active aluminum species that neutralize negatively charged particles. These particles then combine into larger flocs during the flocculation process. The formed flocs can be removed through sedimentation, clarification, flotation, or filtration.

Compared with many traditional aluminum salts, ACH Powder provides stronger coagulation performance with less influence on treated water pH. This makes it a suitable option for potable water purification systems that require consistent water quality.

Key Advantages

1. NSF Standard 60 Certified for Potable Water Treatment

NSF Standard 60 certification is important for water treatment chemicals used in drinking water systems. ACH Powder supplied for potable water purification can support water treatment plants, distributors, and engineering companies that require certified coagulants for drinking water applications.

2. High Al2O3 Content

ACH Powder has a high Al2O3 content, typically above 46% for water treatment grade. This concentrated composition allows strong coagulation performance and may help reduce chemical dosage compared with lower-concentration coagulants.

3. High Basicity for Stable Treatment

With basicity of 80-85%, Aluminum Chlorohydrate Powder has a high degree of acid neutralization. This helps reduce pH fluctuation during coagulation and supports stable operation in potable water treatment plants.

4. Effective Turbidity Removal

ACH Powder is highly effective for removing turbidity and suspended solids from raw water. It helps form dense and settleable flocs, improving clarification efficiency and reducing the burden on downstream filtration systems.

5. Broad pH Adaptability

Raw water pH can change due to rainfall, seasonal conditions, source water variation, and organic load. ACH Powder works across a broad pH range, giving operators more flexibility in daily treatment control.

6. Powder Form for Easier Storage and Transportation

Compared with liquid coagulants, powder ACH can reduce transportation volume and may offer longer storage flexibility. It is suitable for customers who prefer preparing chemical solutions on-site before dosing.

Main Applications

NSF Standard 60 Aluminum Chlorohydrate Powder is suitable for:

Application in Potable Water Purification

In potable water treatment, ACH Powder is commonly used in the coagulation stage. After preparing an aqueous solution, it is dosed into raw water and rapidly mixed to ensure complete dispersion. During flocculation, fine particles and colloids become destabilized and form larger flocs.

A typical treatment process may include:

Technical Specifications

How to Use ACH Powder

ACH Powder should normally be dissolved into water before dosing. The solution concentration and dosage should be adjusted according to raw water quality, turbidity, pH, alkalinity, organic matter level, and treatment process design.

General application guidance:

For best performance, laboratory jar testing is recommended before full-scale plant application.

ACH Powder Compared with Conventional Coagulants

Traditional alum and some PAC products may require higher dosages or cause more pH reduction during treatment. ACH Powder has higher basicity and higher active aluminum content, which can provide better coagulation efficiency under many water conditions.

Potential benefits include:

Packaging and Storage

Packaging

ACH Powder is supplied in 25 kg kraft bags with inner liner.

Storage

Store the product in original sealed packaging. Keep it in a cool, dry, and ventilated place. Avoid moisture, heat, flame, and direct sunlight. Keep the packaging tightly closed when not in use. Proper storage helps maintain product stability and prevents moisture absorption during long-term storage and transportation.
