The electrically charged flocculation agent Kiyomaru was made on the basis of activating surface sand, clay, volcanic ash and then combined with strong electrical charge on the surface. Thus, it is the flocculant with natural and inorganic origin including 24.7% Na, 11.5% Al, 19.6% Si, 22.5% S, 1.8% K, 19.0% Ca and 0.9% Fe. The experimental results showed that the Kiyomaru is a flocculation agent with ability to treat the turbidity and suspended solid in the catfish farming waters with very high sedimentation rate and removal efficiency. The efficiency of turbidity removal is from 98.7% to 99.1%, while that for TSS removal is from 93.5% to 95.2% using 0.2 mg/L of the flocculation agent. Beside those, the agent can remove the organic matters （BOD, COD） from 21.4% to 26.7%, Total N from 32.4% to 33.9% and Total P from 85.4% to 89.3%. When the concentration of this flocculate agent is 0.2 g/L, turbidity treatment efficiency can range from 98.7% to 99.1%; TSS treatment efficiency can range from 93.5% to 95.2%. Besides, this flocculation agent is also capable of reducing 21.4%-26.7% of the organic matter, 32.4% to 33.9% of Total N and 85.4% to 89.3% of Total P.
