Spring 2018 Team Goals/Objectives

Overarching Goal: Optimizing Flocculation!! :O

1. Evaluate whether hydrophobic tubing may mitigate headloss issues: Our tests indicate that hydrophobic tubing does not alleviate headloss.
2. Evaluate whether headloss can be mitigated by running pump at full speed for a short time (approx.30 seconds).
3. Determine an optimal G value.
4. Conduct experiments to determine a relationship between coagulant dose and optimal G.
5. Determine the lowest possible shear value that can knock off coagulant in the flocculator tubing.
