Quality Water Treatment Chemicals, Proven Results
Reduced Turbidity: Achieved by separating suspended and settleable solids both organic and inorganic. USALCO coagulants provide excellent performance in applications where the turbidity levels fluctuate. (Read more about the EPA and state turbidity requirements in National Primary Drinking Water Regulations
Reduced TOC (Total Organic Carbon) and DBP Precursor Control: Enhance Stage 2 DBP rule compliance by reducing raw water TOC levels though enhanced coagulation to positively impact Disinfection By Product (DBP) generation. DBPs are produced when organic materials in the water react with disinfection chemicals used in water treatment, such as chlorine.
Reduced Sludge:USALCO’s aluminum-based coagulants, which contribute (on average) 60% less sludge than iron-based coagulants to significantly reduce processing and disposal costs.
Improved performance in ‘less-than-ideal’ treatment conditions: DelPAC is effective in very cold water treatment often with no change or little change in dosage. DelPAC products work very well in applications where the PH levels fluctuate.
Reduced pre– or post-treatment pH adjustment:DelPAC products have less effect on pH. This could translate into reduced purchases of caustic soda or lime for pH management, fewer chemicals to manage, less truck traffic.
Regulatory Approval: USALCO coagulantsmeet the specifications of the American Water Works Association Standard B403-98 and comply with the requirements of NSF and ANSI Standard 60: Drinking Water Treatment Chemicals-Health Effects.
