This summer, I am working with the Surface versus Subsurface team to determine clogging conditions in SRSF and the effects of varying PAC dosages, filter velocity, and influent turbidity on filtration performance. Our team is running experiments with varied PAC dosages and filter velocities to test headloss patterns. Although we initially ran our experiments at time periods of two-hours, we extended this to an indefinite run time in order to determine when filtration stops due to excess clogging.ran numerous experiments to determine headloss and effluent turbidity patterns for surface and subsurface injection sites and compared the performance and practicality of each.

I am currently on the Ram Pump team and our goal is to build, modify, and test the ram pump so that it is ready for installation in Las Vegas, Honduras.
