What is the Floc Size and Count App?

The Floc Size and Count App is used for teams interested in determining average floc size and count for research purposes. 

Having access to data regarding floc size and count allows researchers to test the effects of different designs in certain components of the treatment plant.

Continuous image processing gives users of the application the ability to visualize changes in water quality over a span of seconds, minutes, or even days.
