Chemical Dose Controller - Fall 2016

Cynthia Chan, Anna Doyle, Ashish Sangai

Abstract:

The Linear Chemical Dose Controller (CDC) system was designed to maintain a constant chemical dose to the treatment train as the plant flow rate and influent turbidity change. Past CDC teams worked on improving the the design of the Constant Head Tank (CHT), and making the CDC system modular. This semester the CDC team redesigned the CHTs so that all four tanks were connected to each other, and so that the calibration columns were attached to the CHT module. Additionally, the team recreated and modified the modulat CDC system designed in past semesters to address the goals of being fully chemical resistant, compact, and simple in operation and maintenance. The new CHT will be demonstrated and eventually implemented in Honduras.
