To create an entrance tank and riser pipe that will provide a linear relationship between the flow rate through the plant and the height of water in the entrance tank. This will allow the Linear Chemical Doser to connect the plant flow rate to the flow controller via a lever

Objective

To create an automated flow control device to add Alum and Chlorine to the raw water as a funtion function of flow rate through the plant.

Semester Research Goals

  1. Revise and perfect mathcad code developed from fall 2008.
  2. Construct a trial automated flow control device.
  3. Test the device to determine efficacy.
  4. Compare results with those expected from mathcad and make necessary code changes.
  5. Experiment with the trial device until the experimental results match the predictions.
  6. Publish scientific paper (and Wiki) on automated flow control device.
