Soda Ash Lite Grade 100 / Sodium Carbonate

Soda Ash Lite Grade 100 / Sodium Carbonate is a fine, odourless white powder widely used in municipal, industrial, and commercial applications for pH adjustment, alkalinity enhancement, and cleaning. With a bulk density of 48 lbs/ft³, this “Lite” grade dissolves quickly, making it ideal for high-volume processes. Certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 60, it is safe for potable water treatment up to 150 mg/L and is commonly applied in drinking water systems, pool maintenance, glass manufacturing, detergent production, and chemical processing. Its lightweight formulation ensures easy handling, rapid mixing, and reliable performance across diverse industries.

Citric Acid

Citric Acid Fine Grain is a mild organic acid that works as a great descaling agent in water treatment, removing calcium and hard water scale from membranes, UV lamps, and other equipment. A simple 6% citric acid solution can effectively remove hard water stains from glass without any scrubbing. It is also certified by NSF/ANSI Standard 60, making it safe for drinking water applications at levels up to 125 mg/L.

Aluminum Sulphate Granular

Aluminum Sulphate Granular is a highly effective chemical for wastewater treatment used in municipal water systems, industrial plants, and other purification processes to clear out impurities. Supplied in a durable 25 kg bag, this granular form dissolves quickly for consistent performance and is easy to measure and store. It works by acting as a coagulant, which means it helps tiny, fine particles bond together to form larger clumps (called flocs), making them easy to remove through settling or flotation.

FAQs

1. What are process chemicals, and how do they differ from raw materials?

Process chemicals are specialized substances that help with industrial processes like manufacturing, cleaning, or treatment. Raw materials, on the other hand, are the basic ingredients used to make a product. Process chemicals are used to improve efficiency, safety, or quality, and they don't always become part of the final product.

2. Why are industrial water treatment chemicals essential in manufacturing plants?

Industrial water treatment chemicals like aluminum sulphate, citric acid, and sodium hypochlorite are critical. They remove impurities, prevent scale buildup, and kill bacteria in process water. This helps protect equipment, ensures the final product is pure, and makes sure the plant meets environmental standards for discharged water.

3. Can processed chemicals be environmentally friendly?

Yes, many modern process chemicals are designed to have a smaller environmental footprint. This includes chemicals that break down naturally, solvents that release fewer harmful fumes, and greener rust inhibitors. These options help industries reduce their environmental impact and comply with regulations.

4. How are process chemicals selected for industrial applications?

The selection depends on several factors: compatibility with other materials, the desired result (like cleaning or neutralizing), operating temperature, safety, and regulations. This decision is often made with help from chemical suppliers and process engineers.

5. How do process chemicals impact industrial waste management?

The process chemicals you use can affect the type and toxicity of the industrial waste produced. Choosing the right chemical for wastewater treatment and using it correctly can reduce hazardous waste, making disposal easier, safer, and more compliant with environmental laws.
