Fall 2010 Tube Floc Research
-In process of fixing the apparatus and Process Controller in order to obtain more accurate data.
-Planning to run experiments to find the minimum alum dose for the transition to rapid flocculation.

Summer 2010 Tube Floc Research
-During the summer, the team focused on completing the unfinished experiments left by the team of Spring 2010 which included the FReTA verification test and the study on the variation of alum dosage and flocculator length.
-The team updated Data Processor by simplifying the overall code and reorganizing its structure. A new smoothing method was added (weighted smoothing) and bimodal fitting functions were created.
Test Suspension for FReTA (Fall-Summer 2010)
-Series of verification experiments were run by the team to verify the accuracy of the data recorded by FReTA.
Influence of flocculator length and alum dosage on flocculation (Fall 2009-Summer 2010)
-A variation of alum dosage and flocculator length was tested to see their effects on flocculation. This study lasted from the academic years of 2009-2010.
Fluid shear influences on flocculation
-Replication of experiment that had been conducted by a past M.S. student Ian Tse.
