Experiments

The
...
purpose
...
of
...
this
...
experiment
...
is
...
produce
...
significantly
...
low
...
turbidity
...
water
...
with
...
a
...
limited
...
area
...
of
...
active
...
lamella.
...
The
...
important
...
design
...
parameters
...
for
...
decreasing
...
space
...
over
...
which
...
the
...
particles
...
settle
...
in
...
the
...
sedimentation
...
tank
...
will
...
be
...
examined
...
throughout
...
the
...
experiment.
...
For
...
Summer
...
2008
...
circular
...
straws,
...
varying
...
in
...
diameter
...
were
...
used
...
as
...
the
...
settling
...
media.
...
The
...
experimental
...
apparatus
...
for
...
Fall
...
2008
...
will
...
be
...
an
...
improvement
...
on
...
that
...
design.
...
Determining
...
the
...
feasibility
...
of
...
using
...
this
...
type
...
of
...
geometry
...
in
...
the
...
sedimentation
...
tanks
...
was
...
also
...
a
...
focus
...
of
...
this
...
project.
