Quantitatively, data collected over twenty four hours showed an increase in effluent turbidity when comparing the experiment run with saturated air to the control experiment. (Show the graphs.) We ran this experiment on both high and low floc blanket levels. In the high floc blanket formation state the floc blanket level is above the plate settlers. In the low floc blanket formation the floc blanket formation level is below the plate settlers. The presence of air bubbles could break up some floc particles and force floc particles up into the clarified effluent. Floc particles attached to air bubbles could potentially travel through the tube settler when they would normally settle out.
