Does coagulation can lesser turbidity? The amount and type of turbidity in the water has an obvious effect on the coagulation process. Turbidity found in natural surface waters is composed of a large number of sizes of particles found in different concentrations. The types and amounts of particles in the water vary constantly, based on precipitation and man-made factors. For example, heavy rains will raise turbidity levels, which will result in the water requiring more coagulant, though not in a linear manner. Low turbidity waters can also be very difficult to coagulate due to the difficulty of inducing collision between the colloids. As a result, floc formation is poor and much of the turbidity is carried directly to the filters.
