The same experimental set up is used for the experiments run with the plate settlers, with a slight addition to the system. A tube is in the top of the sedimentation tank with a pump to pull water off the top. The water then goes through the foam where a pressure sensor attached to both sides of the foam measures the pressure difference. This is used to calculated the head loss through the foam. The water then flows to a turbidimeter to see if the foam filtered out any floc particles that made their way into the effluent.
