Set-up
The set-up is generally the same for all experiments conducted this semester.
- Two tanks: one without lamella, one with lamella placed so that the bottom of the lamella are at 1/2 the depth of the tank
- There is a small hole at the top of each tank that is usually plugged. To collect data on the turbidity of the water above the floc blanket, a thin tube is inserted in the hole. The tube is connected to a peristalic pump that pumps water to a turbidimeter.
