• Description:
  The majority of solids in intensive culture systems are from uneaten feed and fecal solids. The settling velocity of feeds and fecal solids is needed for the design of settling basins and modeling of the impacts of netpens. The UFT column developed in Germany in the 1980s has become the dominant column type for wastewater settling testing. The primary advantage of this column compared to conventional columns is the preconcentration of the settleable solids, elimination of problems with time zero estimates, and reduced sampling requirements.
