This semester, the SRSF Theory team ran several experimental tests on the redesigned filter column and experimental apparatus. PACl dosages were varied between tests in order to analyze the trends in filter performance and head loss in relation to time and the amount of mass being added to the system. Progress towards developing a mathematical model to relate the maximum amount of head loss and the minimum sand pore diameter were in progress during the semester, but were stopped in order to reanalyze a previous hypothesis on the expected trend of head loss. Due to experimental data, several theories were proposed to explain the linearly increasing head loss after filter failure and are currently being assessed for its validity.
