- Construct settling columns. One will have an upflow velocity that is equivalent to the tanks upflow velocity. One will have still water.
- The settling columns will be used to determine how floc size and density affects the critical terminal velocity of the flocs.
Tapered Flocculation
- If time allows and alternative parameters for G and Gtheta are determined by the tube flocculator experiments, the Pilot Plant Team will investigate new baffle configurations for optimized flocculation .
