April 10, 2009

Working Group: 1

Accomplishments

• Set Process Controller to dose for PAC
• Set pump to turbidimeters to produce a tube settler capture velocity of 10 m/day
• Began dosing PAC!

Outcomes

• Plant is ready for testing different configurations with PAC as coagulant. Need to fix peristaltic pump however before we can obtain data.

Issues

• Want to dilute PAC so peristaltic pump isn't pumping at non-optimal (low rpm) rates.
• Problems with peristaltic pump
• Leaky tube settlers
