| Summary: | The use of water as coolant in cooling system is essential in efficiency of power plant
operation. The aim and purpose of this research was to optimise the coagulation process
and suitability of using natural coagulants in coagulation process on raw water for
Connaught Bridge Power Station. To achieve the objective of this research, the jar test
was carried out by varies the type of coagulant used. The parameters observed for this
research are residual turbidity and colour while the pH is monitored throughout the
experiment. The type of coagulants are organics coagulant which is Aluminium Sulfate
(Alum) while for the inorganics coagulant which is Polymer. Polymer act as coagulant aid
in primary coagulant which is Alum. Optimum dosage for these coagulants were
determined. Results in this research proved the suitability of natural coagulant in
coagulation process on raw water for Connaught Bridge Power Station with high
percentage removal of residual turbidity and colour. The effect of mixing of natural
coagulant mix with alum increase the percentage residual turbidity and colour removal. In
conclusion, it shows that this research meet the objectives of optimising the coagulation
process on raw water for Connaught Bridge power Station |
