Peru – High-Performance Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC) for Industrial and Municipal Water Treatment

1. Solving Peru’s Water Challenges with BLU PAC Coagulants

Peru, with its rich mining industry and growing urban population, faces increasing pressure on water quality and availability. From the Andean highlands to the Amazon basin and coastal cities, water contamination from mining runoff, industrial discharge, agricultural waste, and urban sewage poses serious environmental and public health risks.

To meet the national goals under Peru’s National Environmental Action Plan and support cleaner production in key industries, high-efficiency, cost-effective, and reliable water treatment solutions like BLUWAT PAC are essential.

BLU PAC, a premium-grade Polyaluminium Chloride, is trusted worldwide as a top-tier coagulant for surface water clarification, mining wastewater treatment, urban wastewater reuse, and industrial process water purification.

2. Product Overview – BLU PAC Series

BLUWAT’s PAC is a high-performance inorganic polymer coagulant, available in solid and liquid forms. It is optimized for different types of water—ranging from mountain-sourced drinking water to high-turbidity or heavy-metal-laden industrial wastewater.

All types are spray-dried, making them easy to dissolve, stable during storage, and efficient at low dosages.

3. Benefits of Using BLU PAC in Peru

• Excellent performance in Andean water conditions with high turbidity and natural organics

• Effective removal of heavy metals like arsenic and lead from mining wastewater

• High efficiency in surface water treatment for municipal plants and bottling facilities

• Ideal for reuse and ZLD (Zero Liquid Discharge) initiatives in industrial zones

• Reduces suspended solids, COD, color and BOD in agro-industrial effluents

• Lower sludge generation vs. alum or ferric salts—reduces disposal cost

• Shelf-stable, dust-free powder with flexible packaging options for different climate zones in Peru

4. Applications of PAC in Peru

Municipal & Potable Water:

• Surface water from rivers and reservoirs in Lima, Arequipa, and Cusco

• Rural water systems under SUNASS water sanitation initiatives

Industrial & Mining Sector:

• Mining operations in Cajamarca, Cerro de Pasco, and Arequipa (PAC-02 / PAC-031)

• Food and beverage plants in Lima and Piura (PAC-01)

• Textile factories in Gamarra & Trujillo (PAC-031 for color and TSS reduction)

• Chemical and fertilizer plants in La Oroya and Callao

• Agro-industrial processors (sugar, coffee, palm oil) in San Martín & Ucayali

• Sludge thickening in wastewater treatment plants using PAC as dewatering agent

5. Application Guidelines

• Dilution: Solid PAC must be diluted to 2–10% solution before dosing; liquid PAC can be dosed directly or diluted.

• Dosage:

  • Municipal water: 1–10 g/m³

  • Mining/industrial wastewater: 10–50 g/m³ depending on turbidity and contamination

  • Jar tests are strongly recommended to determine optimal dose based on local water quality.

6. Packaging & Logistics

• Solid PAC: 25kg double-layer bags (inner PE + outer PP woven), 20–22 MT/20’FCL

• Liquid PAC: 250kg drums or 1000L IBCs

• Shelf Life: 2 years under dry, cool conditions

• BLUWAT provides SGS, MSDS, COA, Halal certification, and Peru-specific documentation support

• Loading Ports: Shanghai / Qingdao with direct sea routes to Callao or Paita

7. Why Choose BLUWAT PAC for Peru

• Direct manufacturer of PAC with competitive price and large output

• Custom support for Peruvian jar tests, pilot trials, and water analysis

• Eco-friendly solution in line with Peru's Sustainable Development Goals

• Regulatory compliance for DIGESA, OEFA and MINAM water discharge norms

• Fast shipment to Pacific Coast ports with full export documentation

8. Case Highlights

• Mining wastewater in Cajamarca: PAC-02 used to reduce arsenic and iron by over 95%

• Municipal plant in Arequipa: Switched from alum to PAC-01, improved filter run time by 40%

• Textile dye effluent in Lima: PAC-031 achieved 90% color removal at 25 g/m³ dosage

• Agro-factory in San Martín: PAC enabled BOD reduction from 650 mg/L to below 100 mg/L
