Fall 2015 Contributions

This semester, I am working on the Stacked Rapid Sand Filter Filtration Injection and Extraction Team (FInE). Our goals for this semester are to finish fabrication and installation of the extraction unit as designed by the Spring 2015 Team and conduct testing to ensure that this prototype works as expected. This extraction unit is meant to replace the remaining slotted pipes in the sand filters. Additionally, this semester I will be leading the Enclosed Stacked Rapid Sand Filter Team (EStaRS).

Spring 2014 End of Semester Contributions

In the end, we were able to create a functioning web-based guide. We were able to incorporate PHP code into the HTML form in order to generate a results page. One of the problems we ran into was that the AguaClara web-server was not PHP enabled. We were able to combat this by operating an offline test server called MAMP. This provided us with a means to test out the mechanisms of the guide. The Water Treatment Technology Selection Guide we have developed only involves the surface water case to date. Some alterations the guide moving forward would be to expand the guide to include the ground water case, further research the decentralized water treatment options, and the integrate it with the Plant Cost Calculator and the AguaClara design engine.
