Meeting Minutes
Spring 2009 Minutes
March 27, 2009
Working Group: 1
Accomplishments
- Caulked holes from previous baffle layouts for 32 baffles to allow for reuse on secondary baffle system setup
- Drilled holes and cut baffles according to Adjustable Baffle System design
Outcomes
- Completed baffles for secondary baffle system which when system is complete will allow for one system to be adjusted while another system is in the tank being tested
Working Group: 2
Accomplishments
- Calculated range of energy dissipation rates for various non-tapered baffle spacings (b)

Outcomes
- Have range of values of spacings to be tested with adjustable baffle system to find an optimal energy dissipation rate. With both sets of baffles done and a range of dissipation rates to test we can turn on the plant and begin taking turbidity profiles.
