During this Spring 2010 semester I have been working on the Design Team. Specifically, I have been communicating with members of the chemical doser research team to create an optimum design for the alum chemical stock tanks. I created an algorithm in MathCAD which calculates alum tank dimensions based off user specified inputs (plant flow rate,time between chemical refills, and concentration of chemical doses). Then, I determined the x,y,z coordinates of the stock tank in relation to the plant origin. Lastly, I created an algorithm that draws the two alum storage tanks.
