CONSIDERATIONS
AND PROCEDURE
Removal of Turbidity by
Coagulation & Production of Floc
Neutralization of repulsive charges
Precipitation with sticky flocs
Bridging of suspended matter
Providing agglomeration sites for
larger floc
Weighting down of floc particles
Primary Coagulants
Primary coagulants are lime, aluminum
sulfate (alum), ferrous sulfate, ferric sulfate
and ferric chloride
These inorganic salts will react with the
alkalinity in the water to form insoluble flocs
which will trap the suspended matter in
them
