--Bucket 1 has the concentrated clay that is being stirred.
--Bucket 2: (1)The gold labeled tube evaluates that the flow is maintained at 100 Ntu by checking the flow with the turbidity meter.
--The gold colored tubing indicates the water and clay mixture is going through Pump 1 to the turbidity meter to maintain a flow of 100 Ntu.
--Turquoise labeled tubing indicates the main flow that leads to the ultimate goal: measuring the plate settling tubes' turbidity. The blue tubing goes from Bucket>>>Pump 3>>>Flocculator>>>Flou Blanket Column >>>to the Plate Settler Tubes >>>Turbidity Meter >>> Waste.
--The Pressure Sensor in Bucket 2 is connected to the computer.
--The blue tube from Bucket 2 is where the water coming from the main water source comes into the setup.
\The Alum Stock is where the Alum is stored and mixed with the magnetic stirrer.
--The purple tubing shows the flow of Alum comes into the setup from the Alum column to Pump 2. It is mixed into the water and clay mixture before entering Pump 3.
--The Flou Blanket Column receive the water mixture from the bottom of the column. Then the water mixture is either go into the plate settler tubes or the waste tube.
--The plate settling tubes are placed at sixty degrees with a metal splint that is fastened to the manifold of the plate settling tubes.
