This semester I'm working with Margaret to determine the optimal spacing, clamp size and the number of clamps as floc break up device. Previous experiments have shown a decrease in residual turbidity under the control condition of no added coagulant. We assume that the tygon tube walls are attractive to clay particles and coagulant. So we replace the tygon tube with hydrophobic silicone tube to see if silicone tube is coagulant and clay resistant. Later we did several experiments on floc break up using silicone tube. All of the current Process Controller methods are saved in in N://files.Cornell.edu/EN/aguaclara/RESEARCH/Tube Floc/Spring 2013/Experiments/

Again, we encountered a lot of problems during this semester. A checklist was made to help us check the problem-driven components before each experiment. This checklist could be found on the desktop of the tube floc computer or here. We also updated the troubleshooting page on wiki.
