The results obtained are presented and discussed in this paragraph. Table 1 reports the
complete alternative matrix (CAM) obtained with
the performed jar tests. The coagulants are alphabetically ordered in the CAM. The simplified
alternative matrix (SAM) was obtained by eliminating the alternatives with a COD removal less
than 40%. One of the main aims of CAPS is to
improve the organic material removal. It is
therefore pointless to evaluate the alternatives
with an efficiency comparable to that of simple
primary settling.
