Repeatable procurement
Defined QC parameters and documentation sets to support approvals, audits, and repeat orders.
Product Water Treatment
Coagulant (Aluminum Chlorohydrate)
High-basicity aluminum coagulant designed for strong turbidity and color reduction, reliable clarification, and robust filtration performance. Commonly specified in drinking water and industrial water treatment where consistent coagulation and operational stability matter.
Typical form: liquid grades (other formats per inquiry)
Packaging: drums / IBC / bulk (as applicable)
Documentation: SDS / COA / TDS on request
Why plants specify ACH
Aluminum Chlorohydrate is a pre-hydrolyzed, high-basicity aluminum coagulant. In many treatment systems it is selected to support consistent clarification and strong filtration outcomes, often with stable performance across changing raw-water conditions (final selection is confirmed by jar tests and plant trials).
- Strong turbidity and color reduction performance (system dependent)
- Frequently evaluated for improved filter run time and lower carryover
- Procurement-friendly: liquid supply, defined QC parameters, repeat ordering
Commercial overview
Atlas Global Trading Co. supplies Aluminum Chlorohydrate (ACH) as a procurement-ready coagulant lane for water and industrial treatment operators. We align product grade, packaging, documentation, and destination lane so your plant can qualify and reorder with confidence.
Logistics-ready packaging
Drum/IBC/bulk options aligned to receiving infrastructure and dosing/storage constraints.
Lane coordination
Supply planning aligned to destination, incoterms, and lead time requirements.
Best-fit buying scenarios
ACH is commonly purchased where operators want consistent coagulation and strong filtration outcomes—especially when raw water varies. Share your water source and targets so we can propose an appropriate grade and supply format.
- Drinking water treatment (clarification + filtration support)
- Industrial water treatment and process clarification steps
- Plants comparing coagulants (ACH vs. PAC vs. alum) via jar testing
Availability, lead time, and optimal packaging depend on grade selection, order size, and destination lane.
Applications
Aluminum Chlorohydrate is used as a primary coagulant to destabilize colloids and promote floc formation, improving clarification and reducing turbidity and color. It is often evaluated for filtration performance and stable operation under variable water conditions.
- Drinking water clarification and filtration support (system dependent)
- Industrial process water clarification and reuse treatment
- Pretreatment upstream of membranes/filters (application dependent)
- Clarification in compatible wastewater scenarios (confirm by jar tests)
Key operating drivers
Coagulation performance depends on raw-water chemistry (pH/alkalinity, organic load, temperature), mixing energy, and downstream separation. Plants typically define dose and operating window via jar testing and then lock in routine controls for stable performance.
- pH and alkalinity impact coagulation behavior and downstream filtration
- Mixing and flocculation conditions influence floc size and settling/DAF efficiency
- Sludge management strategy affects total treatment cost and operating stability
Technical overview
ACH is a pre-hydrolyzed, high-basicity aluminum coagulant. In practice, it supplies aluminum species that support charge neutralization and floc formation, improving clarification and filtration outcomes. Compared with some traditional coagulants, operators may evaluate ACH for stable performance and efficient filtration in their specific system (final selection should be confirmed through jar tests and trials).
Core function
Destabilizes colloids and supports floc formation for turbidity/color reduction and clarification.
Process integration
Used with rapid mix + flocculation + settling/DAF + filtration (system dependent).
Optimization approach
Jar testing defines dose, pH window, and polymer aid needs; plant trials confirm filtration impact.
Typical dosing ranges (starting points)
Actual dosing depends on raw-water chemistry, separation method, and targets. The ranges below are indicative only and must be confirmed by jar testing and plant trials.
| Application | Typical role | Typical range* | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drinking water clarification | Primary coagulant | ~2–40 mg/L (as product basis) | Confirm by jar tests; targets and organics drive dose |
| Industrial water clarification | Clarification and filtration support | ~10–150 mg/L (as product basis) | Solids load and separation method affect dose |
| Pretreatment before membranes/filters | Colloid control | Case dependent | Confirm compatibility with your membrane/filtration strategy |
*Illustrative starting ranges only. Final dosing must be set by jar testing, trials, and your operating standards.

FAQ
Common questions from operators and procurement teams.
ACH vs. PAC — which should I choose?
Both are aluminum-based coagulants and selection depends on raw-water characteristics, targets, and plant constraints. Most facilities compare via jar tests and confirm with trials focusing on turbidity/color removal, filter performance, and overall cost-in-use.
Can you match our QC spec?
Share your required parameters (Al2O3, basicity, density, impurities, etc.). We align a suitable grade and provide SDS/COA/TDS sets on request.
What packaging is available?
Drums and IBCs are common; bulk may be possible depending on destination and lane. We quote packaging based on your receiving setup and volume.
How do we estimate monthly volume?
Provide treated flow, target dose range, operating hours, and the product strength basis. We can help convert dosing to procurement quantities.
Do you support trial quantities?
Many customers start with trial volumes to validate dose and filter performance. Tell us your trial plan and we’ll propose practical packaging.
Any special handling concerns?
Follow SDS guidance, use compatible equipment materials, and maintain good containment practices. Avoid contamination and verify site-specific compatibility.
