Turbulent Tube Flocculation, Summer 2014

Shreya Jain, Tanya Peifer, Nadia Shebaro, Luke Zhu

Abstract

Over the summer of 2014, the turbulent tube flocculation team has worked to implement and test a SWaT system for analyzing residual turbidity from the flocculator. The group is also working to implement PID control for the turbulent tube occulator to regulate the amount of clay added to the system. The team made minor physical adjustments to the turbulent occulator through the shortening of tubes and the tube settler position. By the end of the summer research period, the team has established a working occulation system to facilitate experiments done by future teams.
