Spring 2009 Minutes

April 10, 2009

Working Group: 1

Accomplishments
  • Set Process Controller to dose for PAC
  • Set pump to turbidimeters to produce a tube settler capture velocity of 10 m/day
  • Began dosing PAC!
Outcomes
  • Plant is ready for testing different configurations with PAC as coagulant. Need to fix peristaltic pump however before we can obtain data.
Issues
  • Want to dilute PAC so peristaltic pump isn't pumping at non-optimal (low rpm) rates.
  • Problems with peristaltic pump
  • Leaky tube settlers
