4 fractal method is applied to a measurement technique for complicated pattems of floc in a wastewater treatment process in this study.A fractal &memion is caicdated In a simple procedure using online sampled image data taken by ITV Camera in a flocculakn process. The image data indicate complicated patterns and they are numerated with the fractal dimension. The more complicated the pattem is, the bigger the fractal dimension is.When the fractal dimension is maximum, the density and the size of floc are also maximum, and the water content of floc is minimum. Experimental data testify that the proposed fractal method is useful for the wastewater treatment process in a food producing factory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
