Important team member skills:
...
- Discover how much time it takes to form a sludge blanket.
- Can a sludge blanket form if the lamella are present? Can the lamella be designed differently so that this is possible?
- What is the best way to drain a sed tank so as to cause the least amount of distrubance and water waste. How often would this need to occur?
- What else could be done to optimize the sed tanks?
- Are the two sed tanks equal? Is the tank turbidity comparable? Are flocs remaining equally intact from the flocculator to the tanks?
Goals
*Get the plant up and running without leaks and problems
*Design and build new, robust baffle system
*Install a dose controller to vary alum dosing linearly with plant flow rate
*Take turbidity profiles of the flocculator under different arrangements, including tapered and non-tapered baffle spacing
