I worked on the Chemical Dose Controller (CDC) team with Rudy Koul and Andrea Castro. Together we created, refined, and tested a prototype of the chemical dose controller with the latest technologies. The new design for the lever arm assembly included a two sided lever, dual dosing system, and aesthetically pleasing counter weight. Also, we had the lever anodized and engraved with a scale and AguaClara logo to add a polished look to the CDC design. We also tested this system for linearity and verified that the new design does in fact provide a linear relationship between coagulant flow and driving head in the system. The AguaClara design now has a sleek piece of equipment to include in new plants that will not only function well without electricity but look good too.
