One
...
of
...
the
...
ways
...
of
...
testing
...
the
...
floc
...
blantet
...
is
...
to
...
use
...
the
...
sludge
...
judge,
...
pictured
...
on
...
the
...
right.
...
This
...
is
...
basically
...
a
...
series
...
of
...
connecting
...
tubes,
...
which
...
hold
...
3
...
oz.
...
per
...
foot,
...
with
...
a
...
ball
...
at
...
the
...
end.
...
After
...
connecting
...
the
...
appropriate
...
number
...
of
...
tubes
...
to
...
meet
...
the
...
depth
...
of
...
the
...
sedimentation
...
tank,
...
gently
...
lower
...
the
...
sludge
...
judge
...
vertically
...
into
...
the
...
sedimentation
...
tank
...
and
...
slowly
...
bring
...
it
...
up.
...
The
...
ball
...
will
...
allow
...
the
...
water
...
to
...
come
...
in,
...
and
...
will
...
plug
...
the
...
opening
...
at
...
the
...
bottom
...
when
...
removing
...
the
...
apparatus
...
from
...
the
...
tank.
...
Then,
...
you
...
will
...
be
...
able
...
to
...
examine
...
the
...
properties
...
of
...
the
...
tank.
...
This
...
will
...
give
...
you
...
an
...
accurate
...
picture
...
of
...
the
...
state
...
of
...
your
...
tank;
...
however,
...
since
...
the
...
Pilot
...
Plant's
...
sedimentation
...
tanks
...
are
...
so
...
small,
...
you
...
might
...
have
...
disrupted
...
the
...
sludge
...
blanket.
...
This
...
is
...
also
...
not
...
a
...
viable
...
method
...
for
...
the
...
sedimentation
...
tank
...
with
...
lamella,
...
since
...
there
...
would
...
be
...
no
...
clear
...
place
...
to
...
drop
...
it.
