The objective of the present investigation is to study the efficiency of the natural coagulant obtained from Moringa oleifera seeds for the treatment of domestic wastewater of the arrival station from the treatment plant number 1 located in Cd. Lázaro Cárdenas Mich. The seeds were subjected to a drying, grinding, fat extraction and sieving process to obtain the coagulant powder. The simulation of the clarification process was carried out using a jar test equipment and the turbidity was the response variable selected to evaluate the quality of the water obtained. A synthetic coagulant prepared with Aluminum (Al2(SO4) 3), sulfate was used as a reference using the same dosage. Residual water samples were taken during the dry period reporting initial values of 135 NTU. Concentrations from 2500 to 500 mg of coagulant/ liter of treated wáter, of the moringa coagulant were used, taking as an optimal dose the value of 500 mg / L for the initial turbidity level. The water quality achieved with the moringa coagulant was superior to that of the synthetic coagulant. The removal achieved with the former was 91.10% ± 3.84 while with similar doses for the synthetic coagulant a removal of 83.89% ± 1.13 was achieved. The natural moringa coagulant offers an economical alternative for water treatment that could be adapted in rural áreas.
