This summer I will be working on the laminar and turbulent tube flocculators. The first tasks will include updating the water supply tank and clay dosing systems of both the systems. After the display/AGUACLARA/Turbulent+Flocculator laminar tube flocculator is updated we will test the newly added SWaT system and compare its results to those observed in past semesters using the FReTA system. The majority focus for the turbulent tube flocculator will be adjusting issues with the apparatus and process controller file. Once these changes have been addressed, the goal will be to analyze how flocculation differs in turbulent conditions as most AguaClara plants have turbulent flow conditions.
