The landlocked country in the southern Africa region, Zimbabwe, is taking significant steps to regulate the importation of aluminium sulphate, focusing on reducing cost barriers for local manufacturers to enhance their competitiveness in domestic, regional, and international markets.

During a recent visit to Chilmund Chemical, a Bindura-based water treatment chemicals manufacturer, Industry and Commerce Minister Mangaliso Ndlovu underscored the importance of supporting local production. He visited the facility and reiterated the government's unwavering commitment to identifying and addressing cost-related challenges faced by Zimbabwean manufacturers, ensuring they can effectively export their products.

Aluminium sulfate is widely used in water purification and chemical phosphorus removal from wastewater. It acts as a coagulating agent, facilitating the clumping of fine particles in water treatment processes. This compound is particularly valuable in treating drinking water, sewage, and wastewater. By causing suspended impurities to form larger particles, aluminium sulfate makes it easier to settle at the bottom or be filtered out, a process known as coagulation or flocculation. This results in cleaner, safer water for consumption and environmental discharge.
