Fall 2010 Tube Floc Research
-In process of fixing the apparatus and Process Controller in order to obtain more accurate data.
-Planning to run Have completed fixing apparatus
-Ran the pressure sensor test and have made transition from constant water flow to settle state more smooth by finding the right rampdown constant.
-In process of running experiments to find the minimum alum dose for the transition to rapid flocculation. Data Processor appropriate for this study has been completed.
Past Research Teams
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.
