Our Lab in comparison to Real life :)

This first step of cleaning waste water is to screen the large particles through netting. In real life they have huge nets and even multiple layers, while in our lab we only used a small orange net to screen our waste water.

During our lab we used a spoon to create a "vortex" in our beaker, while in real life they have highly specialized machines to create a precise spin to elevate particles (note that in the photo from the lab it’s supposed to be a ‘live’ photo which is a short video, and would’ve shown the stirring)

In real life, the primary setting stage serves as a way to get rid of sludge and surface level skimming. In our lab we used a modified spoon skimmer, and slow pouring for sludge and surface level removal. (The lab photo is of the sludge)

We used sand as a replacement for actual biological entity’s used in real life to eat away at the dirty particles in the water.

We let the water sit for a minute after we poured it in to insure that the sludge will sink to the bottom, in real life you would need more than a minute for this step.

We added bleach in our Lab to help purify the water, but in reali life they would use more chemicals to purify the water.

We actually did not complete this step of our lab unless you count pouring it down a sink, but in real life the processor would disperse the water into a natural source or into a public water system. The photo from our lab just shows how far our water changed!
