This semester, I hope to finalize a draft for the paper on particle removal in stacked rapid sand filters. I will also be working with two new members of the subteam to run experiments, finish the mathCAD model for the washer model, and do any necessary data analysis to complete the paper. As of now, the team was able to calculate dimensions for the washer geometry we suspect the mass of flocs has at each filter constriction. There has also been significant progress made to the paper.
