Increasing dosage and applying new composite coagulants were common ways to enhance coagulation in removing natural organic matter (NOM). The role of increasing dosage and applying new composite coagulant on flocs properties and ultrafiltration membrane fouling were investigated by examining flocs aggregation process and membrane permeate flux variation of polyferric chloride (PFC) and polyferric chloride–polydimethyldiallylammonium chloride (PFC–PDMDAAC) in traditional and enhanced coagulation regions. The results showed that when PFC dosage was increased to 82mg/L (the second enhanced region), the removal efficiency of DOC was increased by 70%. The application of PFC–PDMDAAC could get 85% UV₂₅₄ removal efficiency in the traditional coagulation region, which was higher than PFC. The flocs size and fractal dimension of PFC–PDMDAAC was 462um and 2.35 in traditional coagulation region respectively, which were higher than those of PFC. And increasing PFC dosage would result in flocs size decreasing from 414um to 166um, although fractal dimension increased when PFC dosage increased to the first enhanced coagulation region. Membrane fouling index (MFI) of PFC decreased in the following order: the first enhanced coagulation > traditional coagulation > the second enhanced coagulation. And MFI of PFC–PDMDAAC was significantly higher than that of PFC.
