Cloth Filter Data

A list of two data frames that summarize the performance of Aqua Aerobic Systems, Inc. cloth filters for primary wastewater treatment at BC Labs. Cloth filters should treat more wastewater to a higher quality with a smaller physical footprint than a traditional primary clarifier. The first data frame contains laboratory data measuring influent and effluent water quality for both the primary cloth filter and primary clarifier. Lab samples were taken at an irregular frequency from April 6, 2017 to November 5, 2019, but samples for the cloth filter were more consistent and frequent than those taken for the primary clarifier. The second data frame contains daily operational averages of online sensor data for the primary cloth filter from January 1, 2019 to January 1, 2020, which includes process control variables. The goals were to (1) determine whether the cloth filter removes more solids and contaminants than the clarifier and (2) investigate how to improve the cloth filter performance.
