Quick Answer — Water Treatment

Water treatment chemicals supplied by Kiki's in Kenya include Aluminium Sulfate 17% (Alum) for coagulation/clarification, Sodium Hypochlorite (10-14%) and Hydrogen Peroxide 50% for disinfection, and Calcium Chloride for hardness adjustment.

Water treatment is the industrial process of removing physical turbidity, organic matter, heavy metals, and biological pathogens from raw water.

Key Facts

  • •Aluminium Sulfate 17% coagulates clay colloids and suspended organic turbidity.
  • •Sodium Hypochlorite 14% provides residual chlorine disinfection across distribution networks.
  • •Hydrogen Peroxide 50% provides advanced oxidation for organic color and iron removal.

Primary Use Cases

Municipal river water clarificationCommercial borehole iron & turbidity treatmentBeverage plant feedwater purification

Technical Process

Chemical water clarification relies on destabilizing negatively charged colloidal clay and organic particles through rapid-mix coagulation.

Aluminium Sulfate (Alum 17% Al2O3) hydrolyzes in water to form positively charged aluminum hydroxide micro-flocs [Al(OH)3] that entrap suspended solids.

Flocculation allows micro-flocs to agglomerate into heavy, rapidly settling macro-flocs for clarifier removal, followed by sand filtration and final primary disinfection with Sodium Hypochlorite or Hydrogen Peroxide.

Standard Application Process

  1. 1

    Raw Water Intake & Jar Testing

    Analyze raw water turbidity, pH, and alkalinity to determine optimal Aluminium Sulfate dosage.

  2. 2

    Rapid Mix Coagulation

    Inject 10% Alum solution at the flash mixer under high-energy agitation to collapse colloidal electrical double layers.

  3. 3

    Flocculation & Clarification

    Pass water into slow-stirred flocculators to grow dense flocs for lamella clarifier settling.

  4. 4

    Filtration & Disinfection

    Pass clarified water through rapid sand filters and inject Sodium Hypochlorite to maintain 0.5–1.0 ppm residual chlorine.
