  • Chemical used in the system

  1.Liquid Aluminium Chloride (PAC) 10% – primary coagulant

  2.Liquid Natrium Hydroxide/Caustic Soda 50% – pH stabilizer

  3.DIAFLOC™ – polymer flocculant

Based on Technical Guidance Document Series Number: DOE-IETS-1, specified in Regulation 9(a),Environmental Quality (Industrial Effluent) Regulations 2009, chapter 8 – Monitoring of Final Effluent, Table 8.1 : Priority effuent parameters for different industries. There are seven parameters under Petrochemical : T (temperature), pH, BOD5 (Biochemical Oxygen Demand, COD (Chemical oxygen demand),SS (Suspended Solid), O&G (Oil  Grease), Phenolic compound.
