Preliminary results suggest that a PACl dose of 2 mg/L is sufficient in achieving the desired mean residual turbidity because all PACl doses above 2 mg/L yield similar results of around .8 NTU for the effluent.
Our progress has been greatly hindered by challenges with malfunctioning equipment and software errors. The pump for the synthetic raw water was replaced, the code in Mathcad was edited, and various changes have been made in Process Controller. Our current setup should run smoothly and help us progress further in our base case testing and our experiments.
