RXSOL 1450 Ferric Sulfate 60% is an effective liquid ferric sulfate coagulant based on trivalent iron (Fe3+). The product is manufactured using a process reacting high purity iron ore with sulfuric acid. Ferric Sulfate Solution functions very well for both potable and wastewater clarification and can be used for turbidity removal, color removal, phosphate removal, heavy metal removal, in lime softening applications as well as for sludge conditioning. Ferric Sulfate Solution can also effectively be used in Hydrogen Sulfide control applications to reduce odor and corrosion.
