Accomplishments
- cleaned floc tank Thursday Weds and FridayThurs
- cleaned turbidimeters and backwashed lines to tube settlers Thurs
- ran tests with uniform baffle spacing Thurs and Friday
- attempted to use peristaltic pump with tube flocculator
- Worked on wiki page
Outcomes
- Thursdays Weds test was inaccurate due to unclean turbidimeters
- Results from Fridays Thurs' test seem inaccurate, raw water turbidity is very low. Perhaps line is clogged
- cleared raw water line on Friday by backwashing lines and opening/shutting inlet valve several times.
Issues
- Floc tank will need more regular cleaning from group
- will need stronger pumps for tube flocculator
- sink to drain flocs clogs easily, extra care is needed when cleaning tank to avoid flooding of plant.
- need to figure out why raw water turbidity reading is low.replace bulb on tank light
