Sensor Development - Spring 2017

Cheer Tsang, Luna Oiwa, Jingfei Wang

Abstract:

This semester, the Sensor Development subteam modified and recalibrated the fluidized bed solids concentration sensor. This sensor enable the High Rate Sedimentation (HRS) team to determine the concentration of suspended clay particles in a running flocculation recirculator. In addition, the team fabricated a submersible sensor to determine the depth and concentration of the sludge layer in a sedimentation tank. This sensor functions in the same way as the fluidized bed solids concentration sensor, with the added characteristic that the photometer is fixed to the end of a PVC tube.
