Foam Filtration Current Research
Head Loss Calculations
Research from fall 2010 was continued in hopes of determining the head loss through foam as a function of filter run time. We were also interested in determining the head loss at filter collapse.
Foam Filtration Design
The design of the point of use system is underway. We are looking into different possible designs for the filter. Much of the work we have done thus far is focused on the alum doser and ways to incorporate alum dosing into the system. Analysis of each proposed design was done using MathCAD in order to determine its feasibility from a quantitative standpoint.
