Product description
Ferric chloride is produced at different sites as a lye or as a granulated solid material. It is obtained by the chlorination of FeCl2.
Granulated ferric chloride of a 60 % concentration is delivered on pallets (in 30 kg boxes). Overseas exports require special refrigerated and aerated containers if the ambient temperature exceeds 36 °C.
The main application of the product is water treatment.
The product is particularly effective:
in the purification of drinking water,
in the purification of wastewater by "thickening" the sediment (ferric chloride added together with lime before the filter press),
in swimming pools,
for dephosphatising wastewater.
