A coagulant and dosage must be selected in accordance with the actual situation in a water treatment plant. Selection must take into account the naturally occurring variables present in most water supplies. Monitoring the effectiveness of the coagulation flocculation program should be done through a continuing program of trial and evaluation. This paper outlines the elements of a testing and improvement program. Equipment needed in a basic laboratory for selecting dosages and points of application is described.
