• 20 mg/L of PAC, 20 mg/L FeCl3, 20 mg/L PAC performed the optimum dosage to
remove turbidity and TSS.
• Turbidity and TSS is used to indicate the performance of coagulation through
jartest analysis for determining coagulant dosage.

 Conclusion

1. Coagulation with various coagulant and optimum dosage could

be used as pretreatment of flotation process in order to enhance
the floatation in removing fat, oil, and grease, instead of turbidity,
total suspended solid, and organic matter.

2. PAC coagulant shows the highest performance compared with

alum and FeCl3 due to its hydrolyzed compound existence which
is easily to form hydrolysis species in water.
