Open the dosing calculatorWhy Grasim PAC powder
- Works on low-alkalinity and neutral raw water without adding alkali aids
- Forms fast, dense flocs that settle quickly and dewater easily
- Effective over a wide turbidity range and in cold water
- Adds little ionic load to treated water and leaves low residual aluminium
- Generates less sludge than conventional coagulants such as alum
- Certified to IS 15573:2018 and NSF/ANSI/CAN 60, with REACH and HALAL certification from Grasim
Typical potable-water dose is 5–200 ppm; run a jar test to fix the exact dose. The powder is dissolved on site: 1 part powder to 2 parts water gives roughly a 10% Al₂O₃ solution, and 1.5 parts powder to 1 part water gives roughly 18%. Keep bags dry and closed, and store solution in FRP, HDPE or rubber-lined tanks.
Applications
- High-dose-efficiency coagulant for drinking water treatment plants
- NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 certified — suitable for potable water dosing
- Effluent and industrial wastewater treatment
- Paper sizing, de-inking and tannery wastewater treatment
- Flocculant for deodorant and antiperspirant manufacturing
