Direct factory supply of high-basicity Polyaluminium Chloride formulations optimized for Mbarara’s industrial and municipal water treatment infrastructure.
Mbarara City, serving as the commercial and industrial capital of South-Western Uganda, faces unique water purification challenges. Driven by intensive urbanization, agricultural runoff into the River Rwizi catchment basin, and a booming food and beverage processing ecosystem, raw water sources exhibit dramatic fluctuations in suspended solids, chemical oxygen demand (COD), and color units.
Traditional co-agulants like basic Aluminium Sulfate (Alum) struggle to meet modern discharge standards due to temperature sensitivity, wide pH shift requirements, and high residual aluminum concentration in treated effluent. Wuxi BS Water Treatment Chemicals Co., Ltd. supplies advanced Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC) chemicals engineered specifically to handle the elevated turbidity dynamics of Mbarara’s raw surface water during both seasonal rains and dry spells.
Comprehensive comparative data evaluating Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC) performance against conventional coagulants under East African ambient water temperatures (18°C – 28°C).
| Chemical Property / Parameter | Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC 30% Solid) | Aluminium Sulfate (Alum) | Aluminum Chlorohydrate (ACH) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active Content ($\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3\%$) | 29.0% – 31.0% | 15.6% – 17.0% | 46.0% – 48.0% |
| Basicity (%) | 60% – 85% (Tunable) | 0% – 10% | 75% – 85% |
| Optimal Operational pH Range | 5.0 – 9.0 (Wide adaptability) | 6.0 – 7.5 (Narrow range) | 6.0 – 8.5 |
| Floc Formation Speed | Ultra-Fast (15-30 seconds) | Moderate (60-120 seconds) | Rapid |
| Sludge Production Volume | 30% - 40% Lower than Alum | High density & volume | Minimal Sludge |
| Alkalinity Consumption | Low (Minimal pH adjustment needed) | High (Requires Lime/Soda Ash) | Very Low |
| Storage Life & Stability | 24 Months (Dry Powder, Non-Caking) | 12 Months (Hygroscopic) | 24 Months |
Modern water treatment mandates a transition from heavy monomeric salts to pre-hydrolyzed inorganic polymers. Wuxi BS supplies advanced chemical frameworks for key regional industries.
Utilizing high-basicity PAC-01 spray-dried powder to clear high-turbidity surface water. Achieves low residual aluminum (< 0.05 mg/L), surpassing stringent Ugandan National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) guidelines.
Dairy processing facilities produce wastewater rich in fats, oils, and suspended solids. Our PAC works in tandem with Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM) to achieve rapid DAF (Dissolved Air Flotation) separation.
For chemical, packaging, and commercial plants in Mbarara, our Polymeric Aluminium Ferric Chloride (PAFC) provides strong charge neutralization and rapid settling for high-COD streams.

We provide direct containerized shipment to Mombasa Port with seamless transit logistics to Mbarara, guaranteeing stable supply lines for municipal tenders and private enterprise operations.
Explore our comprehensive spectrum of inorganic coagulants, organic flocculants, and specialized de-colorizing agents available for export to Uganda.
High chemical dosage required, severe temperature sensitivity below 20°C, causes rapid water acidification and high residual aluminum levels in output water.
Pre-hydrolyzed polymeric species ($\text{Al}_{13}$ oligomers). Rapid coagulation, lower sludge volume, operational over wide pH spectrum (5.0-9.0).
Integration of iron complexes ($\text{Fe}^{3+}$) and ultra-high basicity ($>80\%$) for high-density floc formation, accelerated settling times, and effective removal of colloidal organic matter.
Direct technical answers for plant engineers, procurement managers, and municipal water operators in South-Western Uganda.
PAC features high $\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3$ active content (29-30%) and pre-hydrolyzed polymeric structures. Because PAC consumes significantly less water alkalinity during reaction, plants in Mbarara can eliminate or drastically reduce the dosage of neutralizing chemicals like lime or caustic soda. Additionally, PAC produces 30-40% less wet sludge, reducing dewatering and disposal expenses.
During rainy seasons in Mbarara when River Rwizi turbidity exceeds 500 NTU, prepare a 1% w/v stock solution of PAC. Conduct rapid mixing at 200 RPM for 1.5 minutes, followed by slow flocculation at 40 RPM for 10 minutes. Allow 15 minutes for settling. Typical PAC dosage ranges from 5 to 25 ppm depending on baseline organic load.
We supply PAC in 25kg double-lined polypropylene woven bags (with PE inner lining) or 1000kg jumbo bulk bags. Bags are UV-stabilized and moisture-proof, guaranteeing a 24-month shelf life without caking when stored in dry, covered warehouses in regional distribution hubs.
Yes. Our High-Purity PAC-01 (Drinking Water Grade) is manufactured from pure raw materials ($\text{Al(OH)}_3$ and synthetic hydrochloric acid), producing near-zero insoluble matter (< 0.1%) and negligible heavy metal traces (As $\le$ 0.0002%, Pb $\le$ 0.001%). It fully conforms to WHO standards and East African Standard EAS 789.
