Fall 2008 Goals
Immediate Tasks
...
Resetting Tube Flocculator (9/4/08)
Become familiar with plant set-up and create semester goals (9/11/08)
Start up tube flocculator with vacuum pump (9/19/08)
- Repair leaks in the pilot plant system so that the plant can run in order to run tube flocculator.
Write Midterm Report (10/21/08)
Compare results from the uniform and non-uniform baffle configuration results from the flocculation tank (11/12/08)
- Baffles had to be reconifgured to the correct arrangement.
- Correct spacing between the baffles had to be determined.- find configuration that does not pinch tube
Create floc profile for tube flocculator (911/2620/08)
- The turbidity of the flocculator will be measured at various points along the flocculator.
- A profile similar to the one measured for the tapered flocculator will be made. Gtheta for maximum floc size will be determined.
Measure settling velocity with and without upflow (10/24/08)
...
of flocs in the tube flocculator with FRETA (12/1/08)
- Compare laboratory results with raw water readings from the Pilot Plant using FRETA.
Prepare final presentation and report (12/12/08)
