Water Treatment Alum – Aluminum Sulphate Supplier
BRF SA CHEM supplies high-quality water treatment alum (aluminum sulphate powder) for municipal and industrial water treatment applications across South Africa and Southern Africa.
Alum is one of the most widely used coagulants in water purification. It helps remove suspended particles, organic matter, and impurities, making water clearer and safer to use.
Because of its effectiveness and affordability, alum is commonly used in drinking water plants, wastewater treatment facilities, and industrial processing systems.
What is Water Treatment Alum?
Water treatment alum refers to aluminum sulfate, a chemical compound with the formula:
Al₂(SO₄)₃
It is typically supplied as a white crystalline powder that dissolves easily in water.
When added to water, alum reacts to form flocs that trap impurities, allowing them to settle and be removed through filtration.
How Alum Works in Water Treatment
Alum works through a process called coagulation and flocculation.
Step-by-Step Process
- Alum is added to raw water.
- It neutralizes the charge of suspended particles.
- Particles combine to form larger flocs.
- Flocs settle to the bottom.
- Clean water is separated and filtered.
This process improves water clarity and efficiently removes contaminants.
