Abstract
The coagulant power that has Moringa Oleífera seed was evaluated and compared with the chemical substance most used worldwide in the coagulation process of water, aluminum sulfate. A simple sampling of the water of the swamp of Malambo Atlántico was done, registering its initial characteristics. Using the jar test, a clarification process was simulated and the reduction of turbidity obtained with each coagulant could be observed. It was concluded that the aluminum sulfate decreased the turbidity in 96 %, while the Moringa Oleífera seed reduced this same parameter in 64%. For its low toxicity, this natural coagulant is an alternative to replace partially to the aluminum sulfate.
