SALH-LTA / Type A (Liquid)
Liquid Aluminum Sulfate Type A (SALH-LTA) is a solution of excellent quality, manufactured from a raw material rich in aluminum (free of iron) and sulfuric acid, through a controlled process that guarantees its quality. Excellent results are obtained with the SALH-LTA when it is used in the clarification of water for human consumption and in the treatment of effluents from industry in general; especially in the removal of phosphorus, when it is in the form of orthophosphate.

Metals of Toxicological Concern
In regard to impurities, the Venezuelan Standard COVENIN 1350-2006 establishes the following: "Aluminum sulfate should not contribute more than 10% of the maximum value allowed in the current national health standards for drinking water quality". Thus, for a maximum dose of 150 mg/liter of aluminum sulfate, there are the specifications shown in the following table vs. the typical values of the impurities in the product.
Metal | 10% of the Norm (mg/l) | Typical Values (mg/kg) | Specification |
