...
- Familiarize new members with plant and plant processes
- 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
- Make Process Controller remotely accessible so alum dose can be changed off-site
- Take turbidity profiles of the flocculator under different arrangements, including tapered and non-tapered baffle spacing
- Set up FReTA to be used with the tube flocculator
- Use FReTA to compare settling velocities at different points in the tube flocculator
- Compare raw water readings from the Pilot Plant FReTA with the laboratory results
- After completion of flocculation goals, sed tank research will commence
