COMPARISON ALUM LIQUID vs SOLID
WHAT IS ALUM LIQUID?
- An improved alum sulfate in transparent liquid form
- Al2O3 content = 8%
- Ready to use alum
KEY BENEFIT
- Designed to optimize processing water treatment
- Ready to use
- Easier to handling
- Compare
- Better quality control
- Minimize human error (constant dosage)
- Eliminate insoluble materials
- Faster processing time
- Improve water quality
LIMITATION
- Need liquid storage tanks
- Change of working method
FACTS IN CHEMICAL WATER TREATMENT PROCESSING
- Unstable raw water quality
- Need monitoring
- Need continual adjustment
- Inconsistent dilution
- Human error potentially happen
- Inefficient process, time and cost
INEFFICIENCY HAPPEN DUE TO..
- Storing n Handling
- Processing (diluting)
- Dosing
- Insoluble matter

OUR CALCULATION
Cost efficiency = 5 - 20% depend on plant & water condition:
- Process
- Time
- People
- Chemical
- Energy
- Output Quality
- Commitment
- Image
FINAL THOUGHTS
- Alum liquid has more advantages compare to alum solid, particularly on safety,
health and
environment
- Working spirit improving due to better process and environment
- Better “company image” due to cleanliness and safety working environment
- Less processing time:
· Handling time
· Dilution time
· Processing time
