Sodium Aluminate 38% PRODUCT BULLETIN
Sodium Aluminate 43% PRODUCT BULLETIN
Sodium Aluminate 45% PRODUCT BULLETIN
USALCO provides Sodium Aluminate in bulk truckload quantities for municipalities and industrial users. We use dedicated trucks to insure quality and have multiple plants to meet your needs. We also offer a granular or dry sodium aluminate.
Liquid sodium aluminate (LSA) is becoming an increasingly popular choice for the removal of phosphorus in municipal and industrial wastewater plants. As discharge limits for nitrogen and phosphorus become more stringent, many plants are implementing both biological and chemical treatment systems for their reduction. However, both these treatment processes can deplete the available alkalinity and depress effluent pH below discharge limits.
USALCO liquid Sodium Aluminate is colorless, odorless, tasteless, strongly alkaline solution that is available in three strengths: a 38% solution, a 43% solution, and a 45% solution. Pure granulated Sodium Aluminate GU-55 (dry sodium aluminate) is available. All strengths of liquid Sodium Aluminate meet the specifications of the American Water Works Association Standard (AWWA) B405-00 and comply with the requirements of NSF/ANSI Standard 60: Drinking Water Treatment Chemicals – Health Effects at maximum dosages of 89 to 105 mg/L.
Sodium Aluminate is most widely used in municipal drinking water and waste water treatment systems. As an alkali, Sodium Aluminate can work in applications where the addition of an caustic is not desirable. It provides an economical source of highly reactive alumina.
Typical uses of liquid Sodium Aluminate include the following:
- Clarification in process and drinking water treatment applications
- Clarification and phosphorus removal in wastewater treatment applications
- Lime softening aid in process and groundwater treatment applications
- pH adjustment and pitch control in paper mill applications
- Surface treatment in titanium dioxide manufacturing applications
- Synthetic zeolite and catalyst production
- Refractory cement additives
- Concrete Additives
- Industrial detergent compounds
The USALCO manufacturing process utilizes only the finest available raw materials. USALCO Liquid Sodium Alimunate manufactured by dissolving alumina tri-hydrate (ATH) into sodium hydroxide and water. Proprietary stabilization techniques may also be used to prevent alumina from precipitating.
