Fall 2008 Research
Will be updated as soon experiments can be conducted!
Introduction
The chief research goals this semester were:
- Determine if there is minimum required tank depth below the lamella for blanket formation, and what that minimum depth is
- Determine the optimal relationship between the floc blanket and the bottom of lamella before performance is affected
- Determine the minimum how short can the lamella (vertical distance) before they are ineffective.
- Test lamella spacing to determing a minimum and the optimal spacing
- Determine if a combination sed tank can be used, and determine if that is the most efficient set-up.
