Midterm Contribution

I have become familiar running and troubleshooting the Pilot Plant vertical flow hydraulic flocculator. I have been working on getting the tube flocculator running this semester so that it can be used to collect data. I have been coordinating the Pilot Plant team meetings and trying to keep the group on task. I have tried to provide a comprehensive flocculator maintenance section on the wiki page so that future semesters do not have to spend as much time relearning the nuances of running the tank at the plant maintenance. I would like to add picture to this page to visually demonstrate some the maintenance procedures. This information on this page has been taken from Carol Serna's thesis and my experience. I have worked on the organization of the sed tank and flocculation wiki pages although I have been more actively involved with the writing flocculation pages. My team has begun conducting tests on the uniform vs. tapered baffle configurations. We have run into several obstacles collecting accurate data while running the tank.
