Ferric Alum (Iron-Based Coagulant)
Enhance your wastewater clarification with our Industrial-Grade Ferric Alum. A high-potency coagulant specifically designed for ETP and STP plants to remove suspended solids, heavy metals, and organic color, ensuring compliance with environmental discharge norms.
Superior Flocculation for Industrial Effluent
Solid-liquid separation is the core of effective wastewater treatment. Our Ferric Alum Slabs provide superior iron-based coagulation that works efficiently across a broad pH range, creating heavy, fast-settling flocs that capture even the finest colloidal particles in textile dyes and pharmaceutical waste.
- Highly Effective Color Removal for Textile Dyes
- Faster Settling Rates than Non-Ferric Alum
- Reduces Sludge Volume and Improves Dewatering
- Effective in Removing Phosphates and Heavy Metals
- Ideal for Raw Water Pre-treatment & Waste Water ETP
- Consistent Quality for Automated Dosing Systems

High-Performance Ferric Alum for ETP Plants
Ensure compliance with PCB norms and crystal-clear discharge water. Our ferric alum is the trusted choice for heavy-duty effluent coagulation in Baddi.
Tara Enterprises is a leading stockist of Ferric Alum in Baddi, providing essential chemicals for the pharmaceutical, paper, and textile industries. Our iron-enriched alum slabs are specifically designed to tackle the high organic loading and complex dyes found in North India's industrial effluent.
For sewage treatment and municipal water works, our Ferric Alum Slabs offer a cost-effective and highly reliable solution for phosphorus removal and secondary clarification, outperforming traditional coagulants in settling time.
Rapid Flocculation
The iron content acts as a weight, pulling flocs down faster for better settling.
Color Neutralization
Effectively breaks down dye molecules and removes industrial 'tint'.
ISI Grade Quality
Strictly manufactured to industrial standards to ensure consistent performance.
Cost Effective
High exchange capacity means lower dosage requirements compared to standard salts.
Whether you are performing Primary Clarification in an ETP or Raw Water Purification for process use, we provide the technical jar-testing and chemical sizing to ensure your dosing is optimized for maximum turbidity removal.

What is the difference between Ferric and Non-Ferric Alum?
Ferric Alum contains iron, which makes it more effective for removing color and heavy metals in industrial effluent. Non-Ferric Alum is iron-free and used primarily in papermaking and drinking water where iron staining must be avoided.
Why is Ferric Alum better for textile waste?
Textile effluent contains complex dye molecules. The iron in Ferric Alum acts as a powerful oxidant and coagulant, breaking down dye bonds and pulling the pigments into a settleable floc faster than standard alum.
How should I prepare the Alum solution?
Alum slabs should be dissolved in a solution tank with a mixer to create a 10% to 15% solution. This liquid is then dosed into the flash mixer of your ETP for maximum contact.
What is the shelf life of Alum slabs?
If stored in a cool, dry place away from direct moisture, Alum slabs have an indefinite shelf life. However, they are hygroscopic and should be kept on pallets.
