Fall 2013 Contributions

This semester I was on the Turbulent Tube Flocculator team. We finalized the design of and fabricated a turbulent tube flocculator for testing flocculation under turbulent conditions - primarily the limited growth flocculation hypothesis. We fabricated PVC pipes fortified with metal bars to constrict the flocculator tubing at regular intervals. We constructed the flocculator and ran water through it to check for leaks. We have assembled some of the peripherals for flow control and data acquisition. Future work will include adding coagulation, effluent testing, and a draining system.

Spring 2014 Contributions

This semester I am on the Turbulent Tube Flocculator and Fluidized Bed Flocculator team. We hope to design and construct a settled water turbidity apparatus, calibrate and troubleshoot the turbulent tube flocculator, and design and construct a fluidized bed flocculator.
