As a new AguaClara memberDuring this first semester on AguaClara, I will be am working on the High Rate Sedimentation team this semester. Our goal is to increase upflow velocity in the sedimentation tank by further investigating the effect of a fluidized floc blanket on effluent turbidity, mainly by experimenting with the dimensions of floc recirculators and plate settlers. As a new member, my goals are to understand the AguaClara plant as a whole and make significant contributions to my subteam. So far, these have included playing a role in organizing the team's specific steps for building a model and helping to build the model.
