Aluminium Sulphate Granular (Iron Free)
Stocked or sourced on request — ask the counter.
This is the core pairing: the coagulation-to-disinfection train for Namibian municipal and industrial plants. Swachem stocks iron-free alum, ferric chloride, polyelectrolyte, lime, chlorine chemistry and activated carbon at plant scale — the chemicals behind clarified dam water in Windhoek, conditioned borehole supplies across the interior, and treated effluent meeting discharge permits.
Potable-treatment chemicals are supplied in drinking-water-appropriate grades with SDS and, where required, COAs for water-safety-plan documentation.
After the first big rains on the Swakoppoort or Von Bach catchments, expect colour and turbidity to spike within days — plants that pre-order alum and PAC in October ride the event; those that order during it queue with everyone else.
The lines municipal & industrial water treatment buyers draw from this category most.

Raw-water turbidity — and therefore alum demand — can triple in the weeks after good rains over a dam catchment, then fall away through the dry months. Plants that jar-test monthly and hold six weeks of wet-season buffer avoid both stock-outs and stale over-ordering. We schedule seasonal volumes with municipal accounts for exactly this cycle.
GAC in filter vessels is the continuous polish for taste, odour and organics; PAC is the emergency responder, dosed into the works when an algae bloom or organic spike arrives and removed with the floc. Windhoek-area plants typically run GAC year-round and hold PAC for summer taste events — we stock both so the response is a phone call, not an import.
Heat. Sodium hypochlorite degrades measurably in hot transport and storage, and a drum that left the factory at 11.5% can dose like 9% after a month in a 40 °C store. Buy monthly rather than quarterly, store in shade, and for remote or slow-turnover sites switch to SDIC or HTH, which hold strength. We will size your order to your actual dosing rate.
Yes — that is most Namibian plants. We supply the test side with the chemicals: jar-test guidance, pH buffers, DPD chlorine test reagents and conductivity standards from the Go Bio range, plus dosing charts written for operators rather than chemists. For commissioning or a problem raw water, our technical staff will work through the jar tests with you.
