At one water treatment plant in the Otway region of Victoria, polyaluminium chloride replaced alum and in so doing SO 4 levels in the treated water were reduced from 27 to 4 - 5 mg/L. The water samples were analyzed for the following parameters pre- and post-treatment with the coagulants (Table 1). <>stream Even though coagulants based on the chemistries above are used in some potable water treatment ap-plications, they Various types of coagulants are used in typical water treatment processes for making the water fit for use by the consumers. Types of Coagulants and Flocculants The coagulation and flocculation process can occur naturally in some cases or be enhanced by the addition of coagulant and flocculants aids. endobj water treatment, all three of which will have a significant influence on the type of chemical that could be usefully employed in a particular application. used as a baseline data for drinking water treatment facilities which uses these two types of coagulants. By 1757, alum was used as a coagulant in water treatment … 8 0 obj In water treatment, coagulation occurs when a coagulant is added to water to “destabilize” colloidal suspensions. 1.Aluminium coagulants Aluminium sulphate is the most widely used aluminium coagulant.
