We will conduct the following additional experimentation before we conclude whether or not our clear well design is feasible. We will first increase the scale of our model and see if the difference between the calculated and actual fluidization velocity decreases. If that is the case, we can conclude that wall friction was the major source of error in our experimentation and the actual plant size design is feasible. We will also test multi-layered media and test whether or not the same empirical equations are applicable.

Filtration sub team
Our team will further test the filtering capacity of the 90 ppi foam when the colloidal particles are larger. To do this, we will install an alum dosing and flocculation unit to our experimental setup. Additionally, we would like to further test the effects of higher flow rates on the percentage of colloid removal, and on the time to failure of the filter foam.
