Commercial & process overview
Ferric chloride solution is an iron-based coagulant widely used in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. When dosed into water, it hydrolyzes and forms iron hydroxide flocs that can capture suspended solids and colloids. It is also commonly used to bind and remove phosphates (as insoluble iron-phosphate species), supporting lower discharge phosphorus levels where required.
Phosphate control
Supports phosphorus reduction programs in effluent treatment and tertiary polishing.
Industrial fit
Used across diverse effluents; selection guided by chemistry, pH, and solids profile.
Where it’s typically applied
- Primary/secondary clarification and polishing steps
- Phosphate removal (chemical precipitation programs)
- Industrial effluent treatment (food, beverage, chemical, metalworking, etc.)
- Sludge conditioning and dewatering support (site-dependent)
Selection note
Grade and concentration should match your dosing equipment, water chemistry, target limits, and materials compatibility.
Share your influent/effluent targets so we can propose a comparable specification.
Applications
Typical usage patterns. Tell us your process and constraints and we’ll align the right specification.
- Wastewater coagulation & clarification (settling/DAF/filtration)
- Phosphate removal programs (precipitation / tertiary polishing)
- Industrial effluent treatment and sludge conditioning
- Pretreatment for advanced processes where solids reduction is needed
Operational considerations
pH & alkalinity
Ferric chloride is acidic; dosing can reduce pH and consume alkalinity—monitor and adjust as needed.
Jar testing
Dose optimization is typically validated by jar tests to balance clarity, sludge, and chemical cost.
Coagulant aids
May be paired with polymers or pH control depending on influent variability and target performance.
Typical specifications & formats
Values depend on grade and customer requirements. Confirm details on quotation and COA.
Form
Aqueous solution
Typically brown/dark solution; appearance may vary by grade.
Concentration
Multiple commercial grades (per inquiry)
Commonly supplied in ~30–42% FeCl3 solutions (confirm on offer).
Typical use
Coagulation / flocculation
Clarification, solids reduction, and phosphate control programs.
Packaging
Drums, IBC, bulk (as applicable)
Logistics aligned to your unloading and storage setup.
Documentation
SDS / COA / TDS on request
Impurities and metals profile available by grade where relevant.
Compatibility
Confirm storage & transfer materials
Typically compatible with selected plastics/FRP; avoid unlined carbon steel.
Materials note
Ferric chloride is corrosive and acidic. For tanks, piping, pumps, and valves, confirm compatibility (e.g., FRP, rubber-lined,
PVC/CPVC, HDPE, PP—site dependent). Include your materials list in the inquiry to avoid retrofit surprises.
Specifications may vary depending on batch, origin, and packaging selection.
Storage, transfer & safety notes
Ferric chloride solution is typically handled as a corrosive liquid. Proper containment, compatible materials, and routine inspection are important for long-term reliability. Always follow your site procedures and the SDS.
Secondary containment
Use bunding/spill containment and corrosion-resistant drain management where required.
PPE & handling
Eye/face protection and chemical-resistant gloves/clothing are commonly required (per SDS/site policy).
Transfer systems
Use compatible pumps, gaskets, and fittings; verify venting and backflow prevention.
Common procurement questions
- Concentration and impurity requirements by application
- Packaging and unloading method (forklift, pump-off, gravity)
- Storage tank material and transfer line compatibility
- Documentation package (SDS/COA/TDS) and labeling needs
