Jar testing is a method of determining the optimal condition by empirical rather than

theoretical. This test is a mimic of processes that take place in the clarification portion of water
and wastewater treatment plants. This will help to determine which treatment chemical will work
best with the system’s raw water. From the result obtained, we can conclude that we had
achieved the objectives of this experiment which is to determine the optimum dosage of
coagulant and to measure the water quality parameter such as turbidity, pH and color before and
after the Jar Test.
From the result it shows that, the jar test by using Aluminium Sulphate and Ferric
Chloride as a coagulant in the coagulation process is effective in removal of turbidity from the
water sample. The applied dosage of the coagulant is from 2-10mL. The highest turbidity
removal with optimal dosage are 6mL for Aluminium Sulphate and 4mL for Ferric Chloride. The
most efficient coagulant in terms of pH and colour is Ferric Chloride. It only use 6ml of the
coagulant to turn the water sample ph from 5 to 7. The water are became neutral when it turns 7
according to the drinking water quality standard by MOH. The value that acceptable for drinking
water is 15 Pt/Co, which the minimum colour is 50 Pt/Co by Ferric Chloride. It only use 4mL of
the coagulant to produce the result.
For more efficient water and wastewater plant it needs to optimize the utilization of the
sources. By running the jar test more frequent it will make the plant running more efficiently.
This jar test need to be done seasonally, monthly, weekly, daily or whenever the chemical is
being changes or new part of the machinery in the plant are installed.
