Spring 2013 Contributions
As part of the flocculation and sedimentation optimization team, we are working to produce a floc blanket using a different coagulant, PACl. We will add a large diameter reactor to mix raw water and coagulant so the coagulant can stick to the clay. We are also working on placing a camera on the apparatus to monitor the production and height of the floc blanket in real time. If we develop a way to successfully build a floc blanket and find the optimal coagulant dose, we will then experiment with floc recycle.
Summer 2013 Contributions
This summer we will be designing and building a turbulent tube flocculator to mimic what happens at full scale plants. We will also include a camera to determine floc sizes.
