Description    
Coagulation can be considered the heart of the conventional filtration process. Without proper coagulation, the entire filtration process will not be successful. Filtration plant operators need to understand coagulation and the factors that affect it in order to properly treat surface water. This three part series of courses on coagulation provides an in-depth investigation of the coagulation process. This course provides the purpose of coagulation and investigates the chemical reactions during the coagulation mechanisms.
