This semester I am part of I work on the Flocculator Efficiency sub-team, which will aim aims to understand and address dead spaces zones and regions of poor mixing in the filtration system's flocculator tank. Our team goal is first to design a scale model of this system and use This semester our team built a flocculator scale model and used dye to visualizes areas with different flow characteristics. Then we will incorporate new obstacles between the tank's baffles to increase pressure and force water into the dead spaces. water flow through the tank. Our experiments confirmed the dramatic effect of adding obstacles to diminish dead zones! As Team Coordinator this semester, my personal tasks will include I enjoyed facilitating team meetings and setting weekly goals to ensure we stick stuck to our timeline.
