During Experiment 1, the following velocities were used: 5 m/day, 10 m/day, 15 m/day and 20 m/day. This experiment was set on high floc blanket formation.
Figure 1: Log(Effluent Turbidity) vs. Time

Conclusion

As expectedLike the data collected for the floc blanket on low, the effluent turbidity for the floc blanket on high is much higher than that of as compared to the control experiment. The presence of saturated water in the influent has a very clear negative effect on the effluent turbidity. The occasional spikes in the data spikes in the turbidity represent an air bubble floating up through the plate settler which creates creating a temporary spike in the elevated turbidity.
