Aluminium Chlorhydrate (ACH) Based Cationic Flocculants

Flocculants

Flocculants

The WPCP FLOCC range of Aluminium Chlorhydrate (ACH) based flocculants is produced at our facility in Hammarsdale. Running our own production facility allow us to locally manufacture a complete range of flocculants under strict quality control.
ACH is used as a primary flocculant and as an ingredient in flocculant blends, and is used in potable water and waste water treatment. ACH (low Iron grade) is also used in the paper industry and the pharmaceutical industry (for anti-perspirant manufacture).

Flocculants manufactured by WPCP have been used successfully for the removal of suspended solids and colour from raw river and dam water. They may also be effectively applied in waste water treatment such as sludge dewatering.
