Dynamic time sweep and creep test measurement for 4.2 wt% waste activated sludge at various gas flow rates (0.5 – 1.5 LPM).

This submission contains the raw rheometer files from time sweep and creep test measurements of waste activated sludge (total solids content = 4.2 wt %). The sludge samples were measured at various gas flow rates (0.54 LPM and 1.5 LPM). The dynamic time sweep measurements were generated from the sludge sample first without gas at 0.08% strain across 25 minutes. Then the sample was conditioned and the gas was injected for 20 minutes before the measurement at similar conditions. Similarly, the dynamic creep test measurements were generated from the sludge sample first without gas at 0.89pa stress across 10 minutes. The measurements were carried out on a DHR-3 rheometer (TA-Instruments), equipped custom made cup.

Detailed experimental protocol is recorded in the .tri (TRIOS) file attached with each data set. This file can be read using the TRIOS software made available on TA-Instruments website (http://www.tainstruments.com/support/software-downloads-support/downloads/).
