Municipal Water Treatment Optimization
Reducing coagulant usage through optimized dosing and product selection for a municipal water treatment facility serving 500,000 residents.
Problem statement
A municipal water treatment plant was over-dosing coagulants to manage seasonal water quality swings, driving up cost and sludge volumes.
Our approach
We performed jar testing across seasonal conditions, selected higher-performance coagulants, and implemented dose control guidelines and operator training.
Results
- Approximately 35% reduction in coagulant usage at stable treated water quality.
- Lower sludge volumes and associated handling costs.
- Improved confidence in process control during challenging seasonal transitions.
