Ferric Chloride Storage Tanks

Ferric Chloride Storage Tanks – Ferric Chloride, also known as Iron (III) Chloride, Iron Trichloride and FeCl3, is a mineral hydrate solution whilst commonly used as an etching agent during the production of electronic circuit boards, is also used in the water industry as a flocculant during wastewater treatment.  Ferric chloride is one of the purest and most concentrated forms of iron commercially available for drinking water treatment with its unique functions as a reactant to remove impurities from the water acting as a coagulant and flocculent.

Benefits Ferric Chloride For Water Treatment

Ferric Chloride has the following benefits for drinking water treatment operations:

• It is extremely effective in removing high and low turbidity
• Removes colour and discolouration
• Requires a lower dosage than other sulphate-based coagulants creating a heavier flock that settles faster and works better in cold water
• Produces higher sludge concentrations meaning decreased sludge disposal costs

Other uses of ferrous chloride in wastewater treatment include:

• Eliminating sulphide-based odours
• Reducing arsenic and mercury
• Adjusting pH

Enduramaxx Ferric Chloride Tanks

While ferric chloride offers a versatile, cost-effective solution to drinking water treatment, it does present storage challenges.  These bunded Ferric Chloride Storage Tanks are offered with chemical tank options including liquid level sensor assemblies and fill pipes, fittings and modifications to suit your application.  This includes inlets, outlets, PN16 and ANSI flanges, welded sockets and as well as fume proof lids and vents.
