Aluminum Sulfate, with the chemical formula Al2(SO4)3, is utilized in the purification of drinking water as a coagulant agent that neutralizes charges on suspended impurities, causing them to aggregate into larger particles that settle and can be filtered more easily. The City has historically used and continues to prefer the liquefied form of this chemical compound over its powdered alternative. No additional information regarding pricing terms, set asides, incumbents, funding sources, or other financial considerations is provided in this award information document.
