Automatic Alum Dosing
- Research affects effects of turbidity, temperature, pH, etc. on alum dosing from literature
- Determine formula for appropriate dosing based on above measures
- Incorporate formula into Process Controller to automatically change alum dose with based on inflow raw water turbidity and temperature
Develop Flocculator Performance Curves
- Run the plant, fix any leaks or problems
- Art, Mike
- Determine procedure for taking turbidity profiles
- Collect turbidity profiles for different baffle arrangements and tapered vs. non-tapered arrangements
- Art, Mike (this will be ongoing for several weeks)
- Calibrate all turbidity meters (Ian has the standards)
- Develop protocol for plant maintenance to ensure that collected data is not affected by dirty turbidimeters
- Develop plan to set alum dose appropriately (automatic alum dosing)
- Determine procedure for taking turbidity profiles for consistency and to make results comparable
- Collect turbidity profiles for different baffle arrangements and tapered vs. non-tapered arrangements
- Art, Mike (this will be ongoing for several weeks)
- Compile data, analyze, graph results

- Set up FReTA to be used with the tube flocculator and use to compare settling velocities at different points in the tube flocculator (three way comparison between CUWFP's flocculated water, the tube flocculated water, and the pilot plant flocculator)
- Jeff. Collaborate with Ian.
