This shows the height of the floc blanket in relation to the time the system has been on. There is a gap at the beginning of the data because there needs to be an initial accumulation of flocs in the colum column in order to form a blanket.
We noticed that the latter portion of the graph was linear, and created a trendline to give the data about the rate of formation. This would imply that about an hour and a half into formation, the floc blanket builds at a rate of about 0.3cm per minute. It is hypothesized that during the initial hour and a half, the floc blanket is beginning to form and to compact upon itself, but only starts growing at a steady rate after this time has passed.
