Market Overview
Kenya’s municipal water supply serves Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu with growing demand. Water treatment plants require PAC coagulation for turbidity removal and TCCA disinfection for safe drinking water.
Key Wastewater Challenges
| Parameter | Typical | Discharge Limit |
|---|---|---|
| COD | 500-5,000 mg/L | < 300 mg/L |
| TSS | 200-2,000 mg/L | < 50 mg/L |
| pH | 4-10 | 6-9 |
Recommended Treatment Chemicals
| Chemical | Role | Dosage | Removal |
|---|---|---|---|
| PAC | Coagulant | 20-80 mg/L | Turbidity 95%+ |
| PAM | Flocculant | 0.5-2 mg/L | Settling improvement |
| TCCA | Disinfectant | 5-20 mg/L | Pathogen 99.9%+ |
