Indus Industrial Group supplies premium Drinking Water Grade Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC 30% Powder, Al2(OH)nCl6-n) formulated with a minimum 30.0% water-soluble Al2O3 and high basicity (75%–85%). Certified under European Standard EN 17034 and NSF/ANSI Standard 60, PAC 30% is an advanced inorganic polymer coagulant specifically engineered for high-turbidity river clarification, low-temperature water treatment, and municipal potable water filtration across Iraq. Compared to traditional alum, PAC forms larger, denser flocs with 30% to 50% lower dosage, generates less sludge volume, and causes minimal pH depression in treated water.

High-turbidity municipal drinking water plants, river water pretreatment, industrial reverse osmosis (RO) feed clarification, and textile/paper effluent treatment in Baghdad, Basra, Erbil, Karbala, and Wasit.
In water treatment plants drawing raw water from the Shatt al-Arab, Euphrates, and Tigris rivers, water turbidity can spike dramatically from 50 NTU to over 3,000 NTU within hours during dust storm washouts and heavy rain events. Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC 30% Powder) delivers superior coagulation performance compared to standard aluminum sulfate by providing pre-polymerized, high-charge polynuclear aluminum complexes that bridge and sweep suspended colloids instantaneously.
Operating effectively across an extremely wide pH band (5.0 to 9.0), PAC consumes significantly less natural water alkalinity than alum, eliminating the need to dose supplementary lime or caustic soda. Flocculation kinetics are up to three times faster, producing heavy, tight flocs that settle rapidly in high-rate clarifiers and reduce filter backwash frequency by up to 40%.
Supplied as a free-flowing, fine light-yellow crystalline powder packed in 25kg double-layer bags with hermetic polyethylene inner liners, PAC dissolves rapidly in water without producing insoluble clogs in dosing pumps. Indus maintains extensive PAC warehouse stocks in Baghdad, Erbil, and Basra, providing technical jar-testing assistance and guaranteed bulk deliveries to municipal water directorates.
PAC 30% requires 30% to 50% less dosage by weight, forms heavier flocs that settle faster, does not deplete water alkalinity (meaning no pH correction chemicals needed), and operates effectively during high turbidity storm events.
PAC 30% powder is dissolved in water to make a 5% to 10% liquid working solution with gentle mechanical agitation for 10 to 15 minutes, after which it is injected directly into the rapid-mix chamber via diaphragm metering pumps.
When stored in its original sealed moisture-barrier bags in a covered, ventilated area below +35°C, PAC 30% maintains full chemical activity for at least 24 months without caking.
