Why It Matters
Raw/process water and clarifier feed carry colloidal turbidity that won't settle. Design destabilizes colloids with metal-salt or polyamine coagulants (charge neutralization) then bridges them into settleable flocs with high-MW polymer
Solution Approach
Raw/process water and clarifier feed carry colloidal turbidity that won't settle. Design destabilizes colloids with metal-salt or polyamine coagulants (charge neutralization) then bridges them into settleable flocs with high-MW polymer RawSource supplies the base chemicals that go into these programs. We can help with product selection, grade matching, and sourcing from multiple origins for supply security.
Typical Treatment Workflow
1
System Assessment
Characterize operating conditions—fluid composition, temperature, pressure, flow rates—and benchmark current treatment performance.
2
Chemistry Selection
Match base chemicals to your operating envelope. Factor in compatibility with existing programs, regulatory constraints, and downstream impacts.
3
Dosage & Delivery
Determine optimal treat rates through jar testing or field trials. Configure packaging (drums, totes, ISO tanks) to match consumption and storage logistics.
4
Monitoring & Adjustment
Track KPIs—coupon rates, residuals, separator performance, water quality. Adjust chemistry and dosage as conditions change.
Recommended Chemistries (6)
Aluminium Sulfate
CAS 10043-01-3
Acids & Salts
Standard alum coagulant
3264 (ALUMINUM SULFATE, SOLUTION) · Class Alum hydrolyzes to Al(OH)3, neutralizing the negative charge on colloids and sweep-flocculating turbidity; the classic primary coagulant. (Role is coagulation, not pH adjustment.)
Melting Point: -16 °C Boiling Point: 101 °C at 760 mmHg Density: 2.71 at 20 °C 1.7 at 20 °C
Full Details
Ferric Chloride
CAS 7705-08-0
Acids & Salts
High-performance coagulant
1773 (FERRIC CHLORIDE) · Class Fe(III) hydrolyzes to dense Fe(OH)3 flocs effective over a wide pH and for phosphate/colour removal; stronger sweep coagulation than alum. (Role is coagulation.)
Melting Point: 306 °C Boiling Point: 315 °C at 760 mmHg (Decomposes) Density: 2.8 at 20 °C (anhydrous solid)
Full Details
Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC)
CAS 1327-41-9
Specialty Additives
Chelation / Sequestration
Pre-hydrolyzed aluminum coagulant that works across a broad pH with less alkalinity consumption and lower sludge than alum. (Role is coagulation.)
Full Details
Polyferric Sulphate (PFS)
CAS 10028-22-5
Acids & Salts
Iron-based coagulant
Pre-hydrolyzed iron coagulant giving fast, dense flocs and good colour/turbidity removal. (Spine mis-tags this Moisture Control; chemistry is iron coagulation.)
Melting Point: The Anhydrous form decomposes (480ºC) Boiling Point: The Anhydrous form decomposes (480ºC) Density: 3.1 at 20 °C
