Product advantages.
S² developed a process of manufacturing it using recycling technology. Alum is a liquid containing around 4% Al. It can be readily used for waste water treatment.
The coagulant is more stable over time than its competitors' parallel products.
Alum is used as an acidic coagulant in combination with Sodium and Potassium Aluminate to maintain a controlled pH level of the treated waste water.
Disadvantages
It is more expensive than Sodium Aluminate unless recycled product is used
Acidic coagulant could reduce the pH below 6 and cause odor problems. It has then to be used with caustic soda pH correction
