During Experiment 2, 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.

Conclusion
Like the data collected for the floc blanket on low, the effluent turbidity for the floc blanket on high is higher than the effluent turbidity of the control experiment. The difference isn't as great as that found in the experiment with the low floc blanket formation due to the intitially low effluent turbidity for this particular experiment. High floc blanket formation already results in an increase in effluent turbidity. The spikes in the turbidity represent an air bubble floating through the plate settler creating a temporary elevated turbidity
