Challenges for Tube Floc

Subteam Leader:

Number of team members needed: 4

Important team member skills:

• MathCAD (can be trained)
• Process Controller (can be trained)
• Basic knowledge of computer programming

Challenges

• Learn FReTA and analyze experimental data with confidence

• Test residual turbidity at longer lengths of tube flocculator (2-3x longest current length)

• Test effect of organic matter on floc formation and residual turbidity

• Test to see effect of performance and floc formation when pH drops

• Communicate with plate settler spacing and floc blanket team about results of experiments
