Fall 2016 Goals

This semester, I am returning to the Enclosed Stacked Rapid Sand Filtration team (EStaRS) after a 1-year hiatus. This time around, we have been given the task of designing and fabricating a new EStarS filtration system in order to be used in conjunction with the newly built 1 L/s Plant. This semester, my team and I plan to analyze the feasibility of making a shorter EStarS filtration system with shorter sand filter layers in order to be used with the 1 L/s Plant. In addition, we hope to make a MathCAD analysis to determine necessary calculations for head loss, dimensions, etc. and create a corresponding AutoCAD design. Finally, the end goal is to be able to fabricate and test a new and highly functioning filtration system that eliminates the problems from the previous system that is able to be used with the 1 L/s plant.
