Q » Why does algae increase coagulant demand?
03 Nov, 2025
A » Algae increase coagulant demand in water purification due to their high organic content and surface charge, which interfere with coagulation processes. The presence of algae adds organic matter and turbidity to the water, requiring additional coagulant to neutralize the charges and facilitate the aggregation of particles for effective removal. This ensures clearer and safer water by enhancing the efficiency of subsequent filtration and sedimentation stages.
