I am in the High Rate Sedimentation subteam this semester. Out team goal for this semester is to increase the upflow velocity in the sedimentation tank by a factor of 2 to 10 withour degrading the performance of the tank. To achieve this goal, we plan to work on the following parameters:

• The geometry of the overall sedimentation tank
• The geometry and capture velocity of the plate settlers above the floc blanket
• The geometry and capture velocity of the potential plate settlers in the floc blanket
• The correlation between the plate settlers with a capture velocity of 1 mm/s and the plate settlers with a capture velocity of 0.12 mm/s
• The transportation of flocs to the floc hopper when there is a high upflow velocity in the sedimentation tank
