Abstract
This study was carried out to find the optimum coagulation conditions for ceramic microfiltration process of Y water treatment plant. When pH of raw water from Y Dam was adjusted to 7, the efficiency of coagulation was the best and the optimun dosage of coagulant was 3 mg/L(as $Al_2O_3$) for turbidity of raw water less then 10 NTU in Jar test. In mini module test, the decay rate of specific flux was the lowest when PAC (poly Aluminum Chloride) was used among coagulants and pH was adjusted to 7. The decay rate of specific flux for raw water turbidity of 10~30 NTU was greatly decreased with increase of dosage of coagulant (PAC) while the rate was not significantly decreased for turbidity more than 50 NTU. In conclusion, the optimum dosage of PAC (11% as $Al_2O_3$) was 30 and 50 mg/L for raw water turbidity of less than 10 NTU and more than 50 NTU, respectively. The dosage of PAC should be increased linearly 30 to 50 mg/L depending on raw water turbidity of 10 to 50 NTU.
