The best available affordabletechnology (BAAT) to remove Turbidity from water is thecoagulation-flocculation process in potable water treatmentschemes. Chemical coagulants used include Alum (hydrated AluminumSulphate) and Ferric Chloride (FeCl3).
Zai WTP is an important plantproviding treatment for Yarmouk River water (through King AbdallaCanal) to supply part of the water requirements of our capital,Amman.
The plant used Alum to accomplishcoagulation-flocculation process from its start until the year 2000when a decision was made to replace Alum by FeCl3.
Do some research and prepare a ONE-page write up explaining thereasons behind that switch in the type of the chemical used?
