I have become familiar running and troubleshooting the Pilot Plant vertical flow hydraulic flocculator. I have been working on getting the tube flocculator running this semester so that it can be used to collect data. I have been coordinating the Pilot Plant team meetings and trying to keep the group on task. I have tried to provide a comprehensive flocculator maintenance section on the wiki page so that future semesters do not have to spend as much time relearning the nuances of running the tank at the plant maintenance. I would like to add picture to this page to visually demonstrate some the maintenance procedures. This information on this page has been taken from Carol Serna's thesis and my experience this semester. I have worked on the organization and composition of the sed tank and flocculation wiki pages although on the pilot plant site. Hopefully I have been more actively involved with the writing flocculation pagesable to pass along my knowledge of some of the more technical aspects of the plant from 454 to members of the team. My team has begun conducting tests on the uniform vs. tapered baffle configurations. We have run into several obstacles collecting accurate data while running the tank. I hope to concentrate more on getting the tube flocculator running within the next week or so, (unless this involves new tubing).
