I worked with AguaClara's Foam Filtration Team once again, where my priorities for this the semester were focused on design and fabrication efforts versus research. We continued to design the point-of-use foam filtration system, but instead focused more on the specific details of the system by calculating all necessary dimensions for each individual component. The goal was to determine and finalize all dimensions and components in order to build a sample system to test physically and obtain concrete results. However, due to time constraints, fabrication efforts will have to be completed another semester.
Along with the "point-of-use" tasks, we also attempted to finish writing a paper (regarding foam as a filtration media) that was started during the Summer of 2010. After much revision this semester, the paper is almost complete and will soon be submitted for publication.
