Several tests have been run with the uniform baffle configuration. The initial results were inaccurate due to a clog in the inlet valve of the raw water sampling line. The following graph is the turbidity profile obtained on 10/20/08profiles were obtained from the Pilot Plant.
The accuracy of this result is questionable. The tank had to be cleaned before the measurement could be taken. Cleaning may have increased turbidity in the last section of the flocculator. We observed an incoming turbidity of 1 NTU, which is comparable to the raw water that enters the CUWFP. There could be some residual sludge in the first baffle section that is building up in the tank.
