Midterm
...
Report
...
For
...
those
...
of
...
us
...
new
...
to
...
the
...
...
...
team,
...
a
...
lot
...
of
...
the
...
semester
...
so
...
far
...
has
...
been
...
spent
...
familiarizing
...
ourselves
...
with
...
general
...
principles
...
and
...
operation
...
of
...
the
...
actual
...
plant,
...
as
...
well
...
as
...
with
...
using
...
MathCAD
...
and
...
the
...
basic
...
MathCAD
...
files
...
and
...
programs
...
used
...
for
...
plant
...
design.
...
This
...
was
...
necessary
...
in
...
order
...
to
...
be
...
able
...
to
...
partake
...
in
...
the
...
design
...
of
...
a
...
new
...
demo
...
plant.
...
Along
...
with
...
...
,
...
I
...
determined
...
a
...
factor
...
to
...
more
...
accurately
...
represent
...
...
...
in
...
the
...
...
...
...
used
...
for
...
plant
...
design.
...
We
...
did
...
this
...
by
...
observing
...
the
...
flocs
...
in
...
the
...
current
...
plant,
...
and
...
then
...
testing
...
various
...
efficiency
...
values
...
in
...
the
...
...
...
...
created
...
by
...
...
...
.
...
It
...
was
...
assumed
...
that
...
he
...
correct
...
efficiency
...
factor
...
was
...
the
...
one
...
that
...
returned
...
a
...
plant
...
design
...
with
...
a
...
length
...
similar
...
to
...
the
...
length
...
at
...
which
...
we
...
were
...
seeing
...
the
...
largest
...
flocs
...
in
...
the
...
actual
...
flocculator.
...
Once
...
we
...
felt
...
confident
...
with
...
all
...
of
...
these
...
things,
...
we
...
were
...
able
...
to
...
use
...
the
...
...
...
...
...
program
...
created
...
by
...
...
...
to
...
create
...
a
...
new
...
design
...
for
...
the
...
flocculator,
...
based
...
on
...
the
...
current
...
plant,
...
but
...
with
...
a
...
different
...
length
...
intended
...
to
...
maximize
...
efficiency.
...
We
...
have
...
also
...
been
...
discussing
...
in
...
depth
...
future
...
construction
...
goals,
...
and
...
beginning
...
plans
...
for
...
a
...
new
...
...
...
...
for
...
the
...
desired
...
plant
...
flow
...
rate,
...
based
...
on
...
head
...
loss
...
equations
...
and
...
using
...
the
...
...
...
...
,
...
a
...
new
...
sedimentation
...
tank
...
(possibly
...
with
...
the
...
inclusion
...
of
...
a
...
sludge
...
blanket),
...
and
...
a
...
new
...
flocculation
...
tank
...
design.
...
On
...
the
...
wiki,
...
I
...
have
...
created
...
the
...
...
...
...
...
page,
...
added
...
pictures
...
from
...
the
...
...
...
...
demonstration
...
of
...
the
...
plant
...
to
...
the
...
photos
...
page
...
in
...
the
...
...
section,
...
and
...
contributed
...
to
...
the
...
...
...
...
...
...
,
...
creating
...
all
...
of
...
the
...
pages
...
for
...
equations
...
referenced
...
in
...
the
...
report.
...
As
...
plans
...
for
...
construction
...
of
...
the
...
rest
...
of
...
the
...
plant
...
components
...
are
...
finalized,
...
we
...
will
...
be
...
posting
...
more
...
design
...
drawings
...
and
...
calculation
...
explanations.
