"Plate Settler Spacing Team" Meeting Minutes

Spring 2009 Minutes

"04/10/09"

Accomplishments

• Completed tests for the 3/8 in ID tube at high and low floc blankets
• Ordered and recieve all of our tube sizes, in the process of cutting them to the correct size
• Order connector for the various tubes sizes

Metrics

• Analyzed results for 1/4 in and 3/8 in tubes
• Determined the length needed to test tubes at various L/D ratios

Outcomes

• We see failure at high floc blanket and high VCs
• We made some quality visual observations for how the tubes clog

Issues

• We may have to glue the connectors onto the tubes, which would mean we may have to buy new connectors for the second experiment with longer tubes.
• We are not sure how to format the old wiki information
