Aluminium Chlorohydrate Indonesia | Beta Pramesti Asia

BETAGARD 4040 is an aluminium chlorohydrate product supplied in Indonesia for water and wastewater coagulation. This liquid product contains 22–24% Al₂O₃ and supports liquid-solid separation; the actual dose must be established through laboratory testing or a plant trial, not a generic dose value.

PT Beta Pramesti Asia supplies BETAGARD 4040 for applications that need to reduce turbidity, colour, natural organic matter, and colloidal particles before sedimentation or filtration. ACH has the general formula Al₂Cl(OH)₅ or [Al₂(OH)₅Cl]·xH₂O, depending on its hydrate form.

When should a plant test BETAGARD 4040?

BETAGARD 4040 is worth evaluating when a plant needs a high-Al₂O₃ coagulant, wants to improve turbidity or colour response, or needs to compare ACH against PAC and alum. A purchase decision should use current raw water and the same finished-water target for every candidate.

Buyer requirement	Data to compare	Decision after testing
Reduce turbidity or colour	Turbidity, colour, pH, alkalinity, and settling time	Dose that reaches the target without disrupting process pH
Control colloids or natural organic matter	Turbidity, UV254/TOC where available, floc strength, and filtrate quality	Finished-water quality and polymer-aid requirement
Replace the current coagulant	Baseline dose, chemical cost per m³, sludge volume, and alkali demand	Total cost at equivalent treatment performance
Prepare storage and dosing equipment	Density, product pH, tank/line material, and package capacity	Equipment compatibility and pump-calibration requirement

For a structured comparison method, use the ACH water treatment and jar-test guide. Alternative coagulants can be reviewed on the PAC and ACH for water treatment page.

BETAGARD 4040 technical specifications

These specifications help buyers review active content, storage requirements, packaging choices, and handling limits before a trial. The batch Certificate of Analysis should still be checked against the purchase specification.

Product	Appearance	% Al2O3	Specific Gravity	pH 1%	Dosage & Application Instructions	Handling Precautions	Packaging
BETAGARD 4040	Clear to slightly cloudy liquid	22 - 24%	Min 1.32	3.5 - 5.0	The actual dosage of BETAGARD 4040 should be determined through laboratory tests or plant trials. Consult our technical team.	BETAGARD 4040 is moderately acidic, stable under normal conditions. Avoid using galvanized equipment. Store in suitable conditions and seal containers after use.	Available in 30 kg, 270 kg, or 1350 kg plastic containers.

How should a jar test and plant trial be prepared?

1. Record the current coagulant, dose, flow, and finished-water quality as the baseline.
2. Prepare a BETAGARD 4040 dose sweep with the same raw-water sample.
3. Keep rapid mixing, flocculation, and settling conditions consistent for every jar.
4. Compare turbidity, colour, pH, alkalinity, residual aluminum where relevant, sludge, and cost per m³.
5. Calibrate the chemical dosing pump for product density before the plant trial.

BETAGARD 4040 frequently asked questions

Can BETAGARD 4040 use a standard dose immediately?

No. Raw-water quality, pH, alkalinity, temperature, colloidal load, and the finished-water target differ between plants. Establish the starting dose with jar tests, then verify it through a controlled trial before making it an operating set point.

Which package sizes are available?

BETAGARD 4040 is available in 30 kg, 270 kg, or 1,350 kg plastic containers. Package selection should account for consumption, storage space, handling capability, and the plant’s dosing rate.

What data should be sent for a technical consultation?

Prepare flow, water source, turbidity, colour, pH, alkalinity, TSS, TOC/COD where relevant, current coagulant and dose, finished-water target, and sludge data. Send the information through the Beta contact page so the technical team can review a suitable test plan.
