How to Run an Experiment

Overview

A This sampling method for testing raw water at the Pilot Plant has been used for several semester's research. Alum or PAC is used as a coagulant and the dose can be set using process controller. Raw water running through flocculation tank can be sampled at any desired location by placing the tube settlers there. Sampling lines run to turbidimeters from three mobile the tube settlers. The tube settlers mimic sedimentation. Additionally a sampling line runs from the raw water inlet to a turbidimeter. Turbidity data is stored in a excel spreadsheet using process controller.
