Spring 2016:

This semester my team hopes to learn about if the is preferential filtration of flocs at constrictions. We want to record a video of how flocs interact in a constriction of a filter. Past research on the milli-sedimentation and StaRS Filter Theory teams predicts that flocs are removed the best at constriction points in a filter. This could lead to a better filtration by adding more constrictions.

Fall 2016:

The semester my team hopes to determine the viability of a milli-sedimentation apparatus. This is merging sedimentation and filtration into one by using coffee straws as small plate settlers and large pores of a filter. My team will decide if this can clean the water and if it possible to clean this apparatus easily. We will also use red dye to determine how the flocs move in a system like this.
