Floating Floc Meeting Minutes

Spring 2009 Minutes

Obtained a webcam from Cameron
Revised Research Proposal and Detailed Task List
Began performing literature searches related to the 3 sets of experiments to be performed
Obtained clamps and fixed the leaks in the system
Measured dissolved oxygen concentration at various points in the system.

Fix the clogging problem in the sand filter
Dissolved oxygen concentration increases from one point in the system to the next, instead of decreasing. This means that the sand filter is not working properly, and the bubble collector may not be, either.
The aerator is very inefficient. Dissolved oxygen concentration in the water is about 60% of its maximum.
