PAM & PAC for Municipal Wastewater Treatment

Two Key Applications in Municipal Treatment

Primary Water Treatment

PAC (Polyaluminum Chloride) removes turbidity, color, and organic matter from raw water. Works across pH 5-9 with low dosage compared to traditional aluminum sulfate. Drinking water grade (Al2O3 28-30%) meets WHO standards for heavy metals.

Sludge Dewatering

Cationic PAM conditions sludge before belt press, centrifuge, or filter press. Forms strong, shear-resistant flocs that release water efficiently. Reduces sludge volume by 60-80% and lowers transportation costs.

FAQ

Which PAM for municipal sludge dewatering?

Cationic PAM with 30-50% charge density, depending on sludge type. Belt press: 30-35% charge (C8058). Centrifuge: 35-40% (C8070). Filter press: 45-50% (C8088). We can help select based on your sludge analysis.

PAC vs aluminum sulfate for drinking water?

PAC offers 30-50% lower dosage, wider pH tolerance (5-9 vs 6.5-7.5), less sludge production, and better performance in cold water. Residual aluminum is significantly lower with PAC.

Typical PAM dosage for WWTP?

3-8 kg cationic PAM per ton of dry solids for belt press. 4-10 kg/ton for centrifuge. Jar testing with your specific sludge determines the optimal dosage and grade.
