Conventional design characterizes a flocculator with a laminar velocity gradient, G, and residence time, θ (Tambo and Watanabe, 1979). Because these are known parameters in literature we have adopted them into our research, which can be characterized using a laminar tube flocculator. Our The goal for the Fall semester 2009 Tube Floc team to reach is to determine an optimum length of the flocculator and an optimum alum dose for each length for varying influent conditions.*
