Design Team Meeting Minutes

Spring 2009 Minutes

April 3, 2009

Accomplishments
  • Held a meeting with Monroe and the people in Honduras. It was a basic Q&A session and helped clear up a lot of things so we can proceed. (notes can be found on the Tasks page linked at the bottom)
  • Team members continued to work on their individual tasks.
Outcomes
  • Decided that ports between channels will be located at the top of the wall instead of the bottom
  • Sludge drain dimensions will be constrained so that they must be able to cover a 3-4" pipe
  • The flocculator program has been changed & updated so each channel will have the same spacing. The channels have also been updated so the ports between channels match the spacing between baffles.
    • This program is currently being reviewed by Monroe.
    • A floc channel drain was also added to the program, as well as alternating ports on the bottom of the lower baffles for the tank to drain.
Issues
  • Chemical stock tanks need to be changed so that a volume and dimensions are given. This will give engineers the option of using barrels or building tanks.
  • In order to determine baffle thickness the baffle area needs to be included
