Lab Jar Test

The document summarizes the results of a jar test experiment examining the effect of coagulant dose on water turbidity. It includes a table showing the initial pH, coagulant dose, agitation speed and resulting turbidity for 5 jar tests. Graphs show the relationship between initial pH and coagulant dose is constant, while turbidity decreases with increasing coagulant dose. The purpose of jar testing is to determine the optimal coagulant dose and pH needed to precipitate contaminants as sludge during water treatment. Key factors that influence jar test performance include pH range, alkalinity, salt concentration, coagulant type and temperature.

10.0 DATA ANALYSIS


1. Compare the level of turbidity in each sample.
The level of tubidity on beaker jar 1 is 15 NTU and a big higher for the first result.
But in the middle beaker jar then level of tubidity are decrease and then for last
beaker jar no 6, then level of turbidity is the highest level is 48 NTU.

Coagulate Dose

The graph above shows that the relationship of initial pH between coagulate dose is
constant. The initial pH is used the same value for all 5 beaker. The for the
relationship of turbidity between coagulate dose is increase.

3. Get the optimum value for pH and coagulant dose of the coagulation process.

4. Explain the implications of using different dosage of aluminium suphate in the


treatment process.

5. What is usage of Jar Test?


The purpose of Jar Testing is to predetermine the amount of chemicals requird to
treat and precipitate as sludge the contaminants in a given volume of wastewater.
The phrase "Jar Testing" is commonly used in the waste treatment industry. It is
used in reference to a method that will determine treatability of a solution or
establish a sequence of steps required to achieve treatability. Jar Testing is used as
a tool to determined why proper treatment is not being achieved.

6. What are the operating factors that influence the performance of jar test?
The factor that affecting the process of jar test is the pH ranges. In this process the
pH range is between 5 to 7. If the pH is exceed the this range, so this process cant
to start. Then use the alkali liquid or asid liquid to increase or decrease the pH.
Alkalinity of water is more than 30 PPM residual. The concentration of salts also
affects of efficiency of this test. The type of coagulant also important in this test.

The coagulant that ussually use is aluminium and ferum salts. Temperature when
doing this test also important. The colder temperature is more mixing and sugested.
