Inorganic coagulants, synthetic organic polymers and alternative natural coagulants are used to treat raw water into drinking water and in wastewater treatment. In this experiment, model dairy water and kaolin water were treated with four alternative coagulants. Trigonella foenum-graecum proved to be the best coagulant among the selected alternative coagulants.
