Jar Testing – Coagulation Chemistry and Stock Solution
Course Description
This module provides Jar Testing Coagulation Chemistry training focused on the science of coagulation and the preparation of accurate chemical stock solutions. Learners explore the relationship between different coagulants, effective pH ranges, and dosage calculations used in jar test simulations. Through this Jar Testing Coagulation Chemistry training, operators gain practical knowledge to evaluate chemical performance, improve treatment processes, and make more accurate dosing decisions for water treatment operations.
Learning Objectives
1)Â Understand jar testing’s role in optimizing coagulation
2) Identify main coagulants (e.g., Alum, Ferric Chloride) and their pH ranges
3) Prepare chemical stock solutions for jar tests
4) Calculate chemical dosages for treatment optimization
5) Recognize how pH and alkalinity affect coagulation and water quality.
