Objective :
To determine the suitable coagulant dosages. Coagulant to be tested are :
2
specifications.
For the optimum jar test for each chemical, please analyse the filtrate water
for these additional parameters
i) iron
ii) manganese
Remarks: The sample of chemicals used by the laboratory for the jar tests
should be obtained from the chemicals supplier to the pilot plant.

e.g. Say the best coagulant dosage is around 40 mg/l for PAC , and
50 mg/l of aluminium sulphate
Note: Both chemicals should be tested as the Specifications call for
either one.

To further refine and determine the best coagulant dosage required, repeat
the Jar test using PAC and aluminium sulphate with a closer range this time.
