We would also like to test a set-up that includes obstacles between the baffles. The idea behind this modification would be to make the velocity gradients more even throughout the sections. Previous AguaClara research has indicated that velocity gradients were much higher around the turns than along the length of the baffles.
Past Research
In the Spring '07 semester, the pilot plant was designed and constructed.
in the Summer of '07, adjustments were made to the set-up and testing of the uniformly-spaced baffle design was done.
In the Fall '07 semester, a tapered-baffle set-up was designed, constructed, and installed.
The final papers from each semester can be found in the attachments.
