Product Overview
At Aethon Chemicals, we supply industrial-grade Ferric Aluminium Sulphate (Ferric Alum) in both lump and powder forms. This variant contains higher iron content compared to Non-Ferric Alum, making it especially suitable for applications requiring stronger coagulation and faster flocculation, such as wastewater treatment, effluent treatment plants (ETP), and heavy industrial clarification systems.
Ferric Alum is widely preferred in large-scale process water treatment, municipal treatment utilities, and industrial clarification due to its high coagulation efficiency and cost-effectiveness in bulk treatment.
