This article discusses problems in maintaining correct coagulant dosages, methods of measuring coagulant dosage, and the use of a streaming current monitor (SCM) to maintain optimum coagulant dosage. The SCM responds to changes in raw water turbidities and flow rates and allows the operator to make the proper adjustments. It also provides an immediate alarm if chemical feed is interrupted for any reason.
