Currently, there are environmental problems due to the contamination of wastewater from the city of Moyobamba, the lack of a wastewater treatment plant or the lack of efficient treatment, which is affecting the environmental balance. For this reason, in the execution of this research the efficiency of the powder-based Aloe vera coagulant was evaluated. The leaves were acquired, removing the thorns from the sides and left to stand with distilled water for 24 hours for the elimination of iodine; then, the gel was extracted and placed in an oven at 120° C for 04 hours for dehydration; it was then grinded in a mortar, turning it into powder. Physical (turbidity, temperature), chemical (pH, Chemical Oxygen Demand) and biological (Biochemical Oxygen Demand - BOD5 and fecal coliforms - Escherichia coli) parameters were used, and the " Jar Test" equipment was used to carry out the experimental phase of the coagulation and flocculation process. Initial concentrations of wastewater parameters are first determined without treatment, then the natural coagulant (Aloe vera) is applied to the wastewater to measure post-treatment concentrations. With a 3% standard solution, at a fast speed of 200 RPM and slow mixing of 50 RPM, efficiency is demonstrated for the Turbidity parameter with 62%, Chemical Oxygen Demand parameter with 70% and Biochemical Oxygen Demand parameter with 63%, in reference to the initial values obtained and compared with the MPL. Through the application of Aloe vera, the use of natural coagulants can be promoted to develop a new alternative that is more efficient, economical and environmentally friendly.
