After the plants were made, I set up one plant in the lab with pumps, stirrers and turbidity meter to create the experimental setup. I also programmed Process Controller to run the experiments performance tests automatically. The results and calculations that followed gave us new insights on the demo plant, for example the fact that the vertical sections of the flocculator contribute very significantly to flocculation, despite previous believe that they were "wasted space". The results are reported on the Wiki as well as during the final presentation.
The semester was very successful overall. The team made new discoveries about the demo plant, and also constructed two plants for demonstrations and experiments. There are also good suggestions on what tasks the future teams should embark on, such as improving the sedimentation tank and incorporating sludge blanket into the design.
