PACls overdosage has negative impact on the operation and the effectiveness of coagulation and separation of post-coagulation suspensions. The results of the pilot study revealed that a sharp increase of fine particles was observed at reaching and exceeding the isoelectric point. Based on the full-scale research with PACl_1 (B = 2, 4) it was stated that these particles did not cause deterioration of standard quality parameters (turbidity, absorbance UV254, colour, TOC, CODMn) of water purified in conventional treatment. However, the particles not retained in sedimentation tanks supplied rapid filters and caused their overloading, and hence shortening of filtration cycles.

An increasingly higher number of water treatment plants are currently searching for a technology which would make it possible to dispose post-coagulation sludge from water treatment processes. Due to the fact that sludge contains a substantial amount of organic compounds, some tests were conducted to see how such sludge can be stabilised in anaerobic conditions. Sludge supplied by two water treatment plants was tested. Sludge 1 was a mixture of sludge from the treatment of filter backwash water and backwash water separated from water after coagulation. Sludge 2 was the product of the treatment of backwash water from carbon and contact filters as well as wastewater produced when primary settling tanks are cleaned. Prior to digestion, post-coagulation sludge was inoculated with the sewage sludge collected from the anaerobic digester of a municipal wastewater treatment plant. To determine the effectiveness of the tests, the sewage sludge used as an inoculate was also digested. The digestion process was conducted for 35 days at a temperature of 37 °C. Compared to sewage sludge, a small amount of the sludge-digestion gas produced by the post-coagulation sludge was observed during the process. For the sewage sludge, the sludge-digestion gas evolution rate per volatile solids (VS) input was 0.19 m3/kg VS, for post-coagulation sludge 1-0.09 m3/kg VS and for post-coagulation sludge 2-0.05 m3/kg VS. The sludge mineralization rate expressed as a percentage loss of dry volatile solids was the highest for the sewage sludge alone and it was 19%, whereas for the post-coagulation sludge it was 11.8% (sludge 1) and 5.8% (sludge 2). The digestion process substantially enhanced the filtration properties of the tested sludge. The post-coagulation sludge produced small volumes of sludge digestion gas, thus it can be stated that the digestion of this sludge alone would not be technically nor economically profitable. Therefore, research into the digestion of post-coagulation sludge with a considerably higher share of sewage sludge should be done to identify the potential for their costabilization. Such a solution would provide a potential opportunity for resolving the problem of post-coagulation sludge through its disposal in wastewater treatment plants.

Laboratory research into the treatment technology of ground water from the Huta Komorowska water intake was carried out. The water is drawn for drinking purposes. The results of research were used in order to improve water conditioning technology for the existing water treatment plant. This new technology is based on two stages of filtration. A water to be treated contains various forms of iron which forms chelates with humus compounds. They have to be removed in a contact coagulation process. In the first stage of filtration, raw water was passed through a triplex filter consisting of aquacleanit - support layer, quartz sand - proper layer and anthracite - surface layer. Coagulant SAX-18 (sodium aluminate) at the dose of 2 mg Al/dm3 proved to be most effective in reducing colour intensity, turbidity, iron content, oxygen demand and absorbance. It also increased pH, hence the water alkalinity, which made it less aggressive. In the frame of the second filtration stage, the filter with chemical active mass (Defeman) was used. The water in the first and second stages was filtered at the rate of 7.5 m/h.

Oczyszczanie wody przez człowieka ma wielowiekowe tradycje, bo - jak podają źródła historyczne - już ok. 3 tys. lat temu prorok Elizeusz, posługując się najprawdopodobniej siarczanem glinu, oczyścił wodę mieszkańcom Jerycha. Jest to chyba najstarszy przekaz odnoszący się do użycia związku chemicznego w celu poprawy jakości wody.
