Floating Floc Meeting Minutes
Summer 2009 Minutes
June 9, 2009
Working Group: Fluidized Bed Group
Accomplishments
- Chose a team leader: Tanya
- Reviewed sand filter theory and experimental setup
- Reviewed process controller basics
- Revewied summer expectations:
Determined experimental parameters for measuring air removal and discussed experiments
Parameters:
- Bed depth (quantity of sand)
- Dissolved air concentration
- Grain size / porosity
- Upflow velocity / bed expansion
Experiments:
- Varying bed depth with other parameters held constant
- Varying dissolved air concentration with all other parameters held constant
- Varying bed expansion with other parameters held constant
- Trying to measure dissolved oxygen and correlate it with results from the bubble collector
Tasks:
- Develop a MathCAD based upon experimental results
Issues
- Set up the experimental system
- Write Process Controller methods
Goals for upcoming week
- Write Detailed Task List and Research Proposal
- Finish the experimental set up and process controller methods
