Aluminium Chlorohydrate Buyer Guide | Beta Pramesti
Buy aluminium chlorohydrate (ACH) for water treatment with grade, Al₂O₃, CoA, jar-tested dose, packaging, batch traceability, and delivered use costs.
Aluminium chlorohydrate (ACH) is a pre-hydrolyzed coagulant used before flocculation, sedimentation, DAF, or filtration in water and wastewater treatment. PT Beta Pramesti Asia supplies ACH in Indonesia and evaluates grade, active content, batch documents, jar-tested dose, packaging, and delivery basis.
For procurement, distinguish the producer, brand owner, supplier, and application-support role, then require evidence of product origin and batch consistency. ACH is not a term for hydraulic residence time, and its industrial price cannot be set from the chemical name alone because form, active content, delivery basis, and commercial-product dose affect use cost.

What Evidence Distinguishes an ACH Manufacturer, Brand Owner, and Supplier?
The role stated in a quotation should match the evidence provided. An “ACH manufacturer” claim needs the producing legal entity and plant location, while a brand owner or supplier should disclose product source, batch traceability, quality documents, and the boundary of its technical support.
| Stated role | Evidence to request | Why the buyer needs it |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Producing legal entity, plant location, production specification, batch-number system, and quality-release documents | Shows who makes the product and how a batch can be traced |
| Brand owner | Brand ownership, grade specification, batch-release party, CoA, and complaint route | Connects the trade name to quality responsibility |
| Supplier or distributor | Product source, storage condition, packaging, stock, lead time, destination, TDS, and SDS | Establishes traceability and the ability to supply the plant |
| Application support | Jar-test protocol, sampling method, dosing calibration, trial criteria, and report format | Separates material supply from an acceptable technical programme |
PT Beta Pramesti Asia states its role on this page as an ACH supplier. For published product specifications, review BETAGARD Aluminum Chlorohydrate 4040; product-origin status and batch documents should still be confirmed in the actual quotation.
What determines an industrial ACH price?
| Quotation factor | Data to prepare | Effect on the decision |
|---|---|---|
| Grade and specification | Al₂O₃ content, basicity, density, liquid/solid form, and intended duty | Establishes whether candidates can be compared on an equivalent active basis |
| Tested dose | Commercial-product dose from a jar test on the actual water | Converts product price into chemical cost per treated m³ |
| Volume and packaging | Monthly demand, package size, minimum order, and unloading facilities | Affects logistics, storage, and delivery frequency |
| Delivery location | Site address, vehicle access, lead time, and safety-stock requirement | Determines delivered cost and inventory planning |
| Application support | Water analysis, trial, dosing-pump calibration, and monitoring | Defines the programme scope beyond chemical supply |
How should buyers compare ACH cost per m³?
Use a dose stated as commercial product and a delivered price in matching units:
ACH cost per m³ = product dose (mg/L) × product price per kg ÷ 1,000
This equation does not yet include supporting alkali or polymer, mixing energy, handling, and sludge treatment. Compare candidates at the same turbidity, colour, pH, residual aluminium, and floc-separation targets. The detailed ACH water-treatment guide explains jar testing, ACH-versus-PAC/alum comparison, and plant-trial records.
Data needed for an ACH quotation
Prepare the water source and flow, pH, alkalinity, turbidity/TSS, colour, temperature, TOC or COD where relevant, current coagulant and dose, finished-water target, jar-test results, sludge volume, monthly demand, package form, and delivery destination. Request the Technical Data Sheet, Safety Data Sheet, and Certificate of Analysis so the quoted specification can be verified.
For product and programme alternatives, review the BETAGARD Aluminum Chlorohydrate Series, PAC and ACH, and water-treatment coagulants.
Buyer questions about aluminium chlorohydrate
Why is the ACH price per kilogram not enough to select a product?
Active content, basicity, density, effective dose, supporting-chemical demand, and sludge load can differ. A lower price per kilogram does not necessarily produce a lower treated-water cost or meet the finished-water target.
Can Beta quote ACH without water data?
The team can provide initial commercial information, but a product recommendation and use-cost estimate require water data, flow, quality targets, dosing facilities, and jar-test evidence. Send those inputs through the Beta contact page so the quotation basis is explicit.
