Liquid Ferric Sulfate 55%

Liquid Ferric Sulfate 55% is an inorganic compound used primarily in water treatment applications. Functioning as both a coagulant and a flocculant, it supports a wide range of processes including turbidity removal, color reduction, and total organic carbon (TOC) removal. It is effective in clarifying water and is suitable for both potable and process water treatment. This product is applied in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment systems for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) reduction, hydrogen sulfide removal, and odor control. It is also utilized in stormwater treatment, suspended solids removal, and struvite control. Additional applications include metal separation and various stages of sludge management, such as conditioning, thickening, and dewatering.
