- Product Overview
- One of the biggest challenges that food producers face is meeting regulators' Biological Oxygen Demand effluent limits cost-effectively. Ineffective treatment can result in legal action, increased costs, and environmental damage.
- DelPAC® XG offers a cost-effective and efficient solution to the problem. DelPAC XG is a powerful Aluminum-based coagulant with the highest charge neutralization profile of any coagulant on the market, which means; less coagulant needed, reduced storage requirements, and fewer trucks on the road.
- Effective control not only reduces BOD levels but also removes other impurities such as heavy metals, oils, and grease, making it an ideal solution for industrial wastewater treatment.
- Implementation is made seamless with the team of specialists at USALCO and the largest and most experienced distributor network in the United States.
- With its excellent performance and cost-effectiveness, Delpac XG can help industries meet BOD effluent limits and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements while helping customers actively participate in fostering a cleaner and healthier environment.

Safety & Health
- Safety
DelPAC XG, as with any chemical, must be handled with care. DelPAC XG is mildly acidic with a pH of 2.5 - 3.8 and is slightly hazy to clear with variable color. It is not volatile or flammable. Precautions should be taken to prevent spraying or splashing. Under normal conditions, DelPAC XG will not generate mists or vapors. No special ventilation is recommended. Have emergency eyewash stations, safety/quick-drench showers, and washing facilities available in the work area. Avoid ingestion and contact with the skin. There is a risk of serious damage to eyes. Wear personal protective equipment when there is a possibility of being splashed or sprayed. Close fitting chemical splash goggles are recommended to protect the eyes. Rubber or neoprene gloves and boots, and a rubber apron, PVC, acid or chemical resistant suit may also be used to protect the employee. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water (15 minutes is the recommended minimum time) and seek medical advice. In case of contact with skin, flush immediately from the skin with large amounts of water, since prolonged contact may cause tissue damage. Seek medical advice if any symptoms appear. DelPAC XG may be very slippery if spilled on stairways, walkways or floors and may be a significant slip hazard
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Packaging Information
275 gallon IBCs (totes), tank trucks and railcars.
Shipment
- DelPAC XG may be shipped in fiberglass, rubber lined and 316 stainless steel trucks which conform to D.O.T. Specifications as well as the laws of the states in which they operate. The average shipment is 4,025 gallons or approximately 45,000 pounds. DelPAC XG is unloaded through 2 inch reinforced rubber hose using air pressure supplied by the truck’s air compressor. The fittings are 2-inch cam & groove quick connect couplers.
Storage & Handling
- Storage And Handling
Storage and Handling
- Tanks for receiving tank truck deliveries should be 1.5 times the delivery amount or a minimum of 6,750 gallon capacity. An easy means of determining the level in the tanks should be available, such as a sight tube or dipstick, so that the tank will not be overfilled during delivery. For optimum product performance, DelPAC XG should be consumed within three (3) years of delivery. Storage tanks should be emptied and inspected annually.
Equipment and Piping
- Storage Tanks: Tanks may be constructed of fiberglass/epoxy, lined steel. Polypropylene or polyethylene tanks have also been used.
- Piping: Schedule 80 PVC or polymer lined piping can be used. Glass reinforced plastic or hard rubber are also suitable materials for piping. Due to the high coefficient of expansion for PVC and CPVC, piping made of these materials should not be anchored at both ends of a piping run and must be adequately supported when installed. Gravity feed when possible. Initial pump cost and maintenance are eliminated. When centrifugal pumps are used they should be sized for head and flow requirements. Wetted pump parts should be of poly lined, plastic or fiberglass. Packing may be of graphite or Teflon. Compatible gasket materials include Teflon, neoprene or rubber. There are several types of valves suitable for handling DelPAC XG. Their wetted parts should be of Teflon, PVC, Hastelloy C, or rubber lined construction. Feed rates and metering can be accomplished using rotameters, volumetric dis-placement pumps, weighing devices and mechanical feeders. The wetted parts of these devices should be constructed of Teflon, PVC, Hastelloy C or rubber. Maintenance of the equipment should follow general industry standards and manufacturer’s recommendations. Piping and pumps taken out of service for more than thirty days should be thoroughly rinsed with water.
- Spill Cleanup
Contain major spills to prevent entering water sources and sewers. Very minor spills may be washed to a chemical sewer, neutralized with soda ash to a pH of 5-9 or absorbed with an inert material. DelPAC XG is not classified as a hazardous substance under CERCLA (40 CFR 302.4). There is no reportable quantity (RQ).
