The spring 2009 plate settler spacing experiments were run using the process controller software developed by Dr. Weber-Shirk. Our experimental apparatus consisted of four peristaltic pumps, two electric stirrers, one stir-plate, two turbidimeters, one pressure sensor, one solenoid valve, and one pinch valve: all of which were directly controlled by process controller.

The following is an overview of how we utilized this software for our apparatus.
