Abstract:
Turbidity measurements provide the primary source of performance monitoring at many water treatment plants. Turbidity provides an excellent way to measure overall plant performance, but it does not provide insight into why the water treatment plants are performing well or poorly. The floc size and count app team’s aim is to create and easy-to-use desktop application that would measure floc size distribution and potentially provide insight as to why a plant is performing well or not. The app will be written in LabVIEW and made available for easy use as a stand alone executable application. The aim for this semester is for the team members to finish the LabVIEW program, integrate the program with a camera system, and have other teams test the camera system and software. By the end of the semester, we hope to have a functional prototype than can be tested by other AguaClara Teams in their experiments.
