Abstract
An abstract is a brief summary of a research article, thesis, review on coagulant process in Water Treatment Plant consists primarily of inert materials and was categorized as chemical sludge. Aluminium sulphate used as a coagulant for majority of water treatment processes, therefore the sludge commonly referred to as alum sludge. The water quality parameters are based on the Water Quality Index (WQI) and Interim National Water Quality Standard for Malaysia (INWQS). The parameters are Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Chemical Oxygen Demand, Dissolved Oxygen, PH, Suspended Solids and Aluminium Sulphate. The objectives of this research such as, i) To monitor the coagulant process in the treatment plant, ii)To determine the water quality parameters of sewage sludge, and iii)To monitor the associated changes within the tank in relation to the application of EM.
