Starting the pilot plant

Check with the operators to see if it is permissible to run the pilot plant.
Check that all the cords, including the power strips, are plugged in.
Check with the plant operators to make sure they haven't turned off parts of the Filtration Plant for maintenance. The operators are also very helpful in figuring out what might be unplugged or turned off.

Starting the alum pump

If the alum pump has been switched on, but no alum is flowing (i.e., the corresponding box in the process controller reads "0" mg/L):

• Go to configuration in the process controller.
• In the top left corner there are methods, files, etc. buttons, and an icon that looks like an open folder. Click on the folder.
• Open the Fall 2008 folder (or a newer folder).
• Open Sept 9 2008 (or any configuration that may have been saved later).

Changing the alum dose

• Open process controller.
• Go to the Configuration tab.
• Click "Edit Rules."
• In the menu on the left-and side, go to "alum dose not increment" and change the value.
