FERRIC CHLORIDE 38–42%
Concentrated iron-based coagulant for water treatment, wastewater clarification, and industrial processing
Ferric Chloride 38–42% is an iron-based inorganic coagulant supplied as a concentrated aqueous solution for water treatment and industrial processing. Its strong chemical reactivity enables it to promote coagulation and floc formation, helping separate suspended solids, colloidal materials, and certain dissolved contaminants from process and wastewater streams. Ferric chloride is widely used in municipal and industrial water treatment, wastewater clarification, sludge conditioning, and selected chemical processes. Its established coagulation chemistry makes it a practical treatment chemical for systems requiring effective solids separation and water-quality management.

Applications
Municipal Water Treatment
Ferric chloride is widely used as a coagulant in municipal water treatment. It assists in destabilizing suspended and colloidal particles, promoting floc formation and supporting subsequent clarification and filtration stages.
Industrial Wastewater Clarification
Industrial wastewater systems use ferric chloride to support removal of suspended solids, turbidity, and selected contaminants. It can be applied across appropriately designed treatment processes where iron-based coagulation is suitable for the wastewater chemistry.
Phosphorus Removal Systems
Ferric chloride is commonly applied in wastewater treatment for chemical phosphorus removal. Iron compounds react with phosphate species to form compounds that can be separated from the treated water through appropriate solids-handling processes.
Sludge Conditioning
Ferric chloride can be incorporated into sludge-treatment processes to improve dewatering characteristics and facilitate separation of water from solids. Its use supports selected wastewater operations requiring improved sludge handling and downstream processing.
Process Water Treatment
Ferric chloride supports treatment of process water in industrial facilities where coagulation and solids separation are required. It can help condition water streams before subsequent filtration, clarification, or other treatment stages.
Industrial Chemical Processing
Beyond water treatment, ferric chloride is used in selected chemical and industrial processes requiring iron-based chemistry. Its reactive properties support applications such as metal treatment, etching, and the preparation of other iron-containing materials.
