PAC Manufacturer in Indonesia | Beta Pramesti Asia

Short Answer

PT Beta Pramesti Asia is a PAC manufacturer in Indonesia with a PAC production facility in Cikupa, Tangerang. Industrial WTP and WWTP buyers should select a liquid or powder grade by active content, jar-test evidence, monthly demand, storage, and delivery conditions, then compare cost per m³ of water meeting its target.

PAC has the general chemical formula [Al₂(OH)nCl₆₋n]m, where aluminum is the active element that helps bind fine particles in water. In a treatment program, PAC is often paired with Betagard coagulants, flocculants, and broader water and wastewater chemicals for more stable clarification.

For product-selection criteria, feed-rate calculations, and the jar-test observations to record, read the PAC guide for water and wastewater treatment. When the incumbent option is alum, use the PAC-versus-alum comparison to judge pH, alkalinity, sludge, and programme cost on the same test basis. Compare published liquid and powder BETAGARD specifications in the Poly Aluminium Chloride grade table.

PAC supply options for industrial buyers

Buyer requirement	Option to evaluate	Checks before purchase
Compact storage and higher active content per delivered mass	Powder PAC with on-site solution make-down	Make-down capacity, dilution-water quality, dust control, labour, solution concentration, and pump calibration
Continuous dosing without dissolving powder	Industrial liquid PAC with a compatible tank and pump	Active content, tank volume, consumption rate, transfer materials, delivery schedule, and safety stock
Coagulation performance that needs optimisation	PAC with a flocculant and a jar or plant trial	Turbidity/TSS, pH, alkalinity, floc formation, sludge character, and cost per m³

For recorded operating evidence, review the 17% liquid PAC water-treatment optimisation case study. It compares dose, sedimentation turbidity, dissolution work, operator exposure, and monthly chemical-cost efficiency under documented conditions.

PAC manufacturer and quotation evidence to compare

Manufacturer status should be supported by facility identity, batch traceability, and quality-release documents; the commercial quotation should then state the grade, active content, form, packaging, delivered-price basis, and jar-test support on the same basis. If the wastewater character or process train is not stable, first review the broader wastewater coagulant programme; a low price without an active-content basis and tested dose does not establish treatment cost.

Manufacturer or supplier evidence	Details to confirm	Why the buyer needs it
Production identity and traceability	Legal entity, facility location, grade name, batch-number system, quality-release party, and complaint route	Shows who makes the product and who is responsible for batch quality
Product specification and quality documents	Grade name, form, Al₂O₃ content, basicity where stated, pH, and product lot	Confirms that the material tested is the material to be supplied
SDS and handling requirements	Tank and transfer materials, protective equipment, spill response, and storage	Checks site readiness before delivery
Quotation basis	Net weight or volume, packaging, quantity, delivery location, unloading schedule, and validity	Creates a like-for-like delivered-price comparison
Test plan	Sample, dose range, injection order, mixing time, outlet parameters, and sludge review	Defines technical evidence before a programme change
Supply plan	Estimated consumption, safety stock, lead time, and storage capacity	Reduces stockout and emergency-purchase risk

Factors that determine PAC pricing

Factor	Effect on the quotation
Form and grade	Powder, liquid, and application grades have different active-content and handling bases
Tested dose	Determines actual consumption and chemical cost per m³ of water
Volume and packaging	Affects delivery frequency, storage, and make-down work
Location and supply pattern	Affects delivered cost, safety stock, and unloading schedule
Application support	Jar tests, trials, dosing calibration, and sludge review determine programme performance

How to compare PAC price per kg

Put every quotation on the same product basis. Price per kg is only comparable when form, grade, active content, packaging, order quantity, and freight basis match; liquid PAC and powder PAC should not be compared by product mass alone.

Buyer calculation	Inputs	What it shows
Delivered price per kg	Product price, packaging, quantity, location, and freight	Material cost arriving at the site
Cost per kg of active content	Delivered price and specified active content	Like-for-like comparison between grades
Chemical cost per m³ of water	Delivered price, jar-tested dose, and flow	Programme cost at the required outlet quality
Total operating cost	Chemical, make-down, dosing, sludge, and delivery frequency	The commercially practical operating choice

Prepare flow, water quality, current coagulant and dose, jar-test results, outlet target, monthly demand, and location through the Beta contact page. Where tanks and injection pumps are already available, also compare industrial liquid PAC.

When Should PAC Be Selected?

Buyer or operator question	Process condition	Data to prepare
Who supplies PAC for WTP or WWTP systems in Indonesia?	Raw water, process water, or wastewater needs an inorganic coagulant for clarification	Flow rate, pH, alkalinity, turbidity, TSS, color, COD/BOD where relevant, and jar-test results
When should PAC be considered instead of alum?	The operator needs to compare coagulation performance, pH impact, floc formation, and sludge volume	Comparative dose, before-after pH, floc formation speed, turbidity removal, and sludge character
Is PAC suitable for DAF or clarifier systems?	TSS, color, oil, grease, or fine particles are difficult to separate	Process unit type, chemical injection point, dosing pump requirements, and target outlet quality
When does PAC need a flocculant?	Flocs form but remain too small, light, or fragile	Flocculant type, injection sequence, mixing time, and settling or flotation test result

For chemical injection equipment, see Beta dosing pumps or Watermart dosing pumps for water treatment.

Uses of PAC

1. Clean Water Treatment
   Tested on raw water to support clarification before filtration and downstream treatment.
2. Wastewater Treatment
   Evaluated for suspended solids, turbidity, or colour; performance on metals and organic compounds depends on contaminant form, pH, treatment aids, and the separation unit.
3. Paper and Textile Industry
   Can be compared for process-water or wastewater clarification after fibre, colour, pH, and sludge requirements are mapped.
4. Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industry
   Selected only after treatability, process compatibility, residuals, and outlet targets are verified.

Advantages of PAC Over Conventional Coagulants

• Coagulation and flocculation performance should be confirmed by jar testing the actual water.
• The dose can be compared with the existing coagulant based on test results and cost per cubic meter of treated water.
• Sludge formation and sludge character should be reviewed together with sedimentation, DAF, or dewatering performance.
• pH shift is usually one of the main parameters when comparing PAC with alum.
• Suitability for each raw water must be proven with the actual sample and process conditions.

Common Forms and Starting Specifications

Form	Typical color	Al₂O₃ content	pH of 1% solution	Selection note
Powder	Light yellow	≥ 29%	3.5-5.0	Useful where powder storage is practical and solution make-down can be controlled on site
Liquid	Clear yellow	± 10%	3.5-5.0	Useful for continuous dosing where storage tanks and injection pumps are available

Final specifications depend on the product grade, packaging, and technical confirmation. Contact Beta when you need PAC grade selection, a coagulant-flocculant combination, or an industrial wastewater chemical-program review.

FAQ

Who supplies PAC for water treatment in Indonesia?

PT Beta Pramesti Asia supplies PAC for raw water, process water, and industrial wastewater applications in Indonesia through beta.co.id. For broader programs, Beta can also review Betagard coagulants, flocculants, and wastewater treatment chemicals.

What is the difference between PAC powder and liquid PAC?

PAC powder has higher Al₂O₃ content by product mass and must be dissolved before dosing. Liquid PAC is easier for continuous dosing when the site has a suitable storage tank and chemical injection pump.

Can PAC directly replace alum?

Do not switch coagulants by product name alone. Compare PAC and alum through a jar test using actual water, then check dose, pH, turbidity, floc formation, sludge, and operating cost.

What data is needed before asking for a PAC recommendation?

Prepare the water or wastewater type, flow rate, pH, alkalinity, turbidity, TSS, color, COD/BOD where relevant, required outlet quality, and a photo or diagram of the process unit. Send the data through the Beta contact page.

Why is PAC price per kg not enough to select a product?

Two products with different prices per kg can reverse their cost order after active content, jar-tested dose, make-down work, and sludge production are included. Use price per kg as one input, then decide from the cost per m³ of water that meets the target.

Technical reference: the U.S. EPA describes coagulation and flocculation as separate stages that destabilise colloids and form separable floc. Accessed 27 July 2026; the actual PAC dose must still be established from the site’s water and process conditions.
