This fall semester, I am a part of the subteam PreFabrication 1L/s. Our semester goal is to construct a 1L/s plant that has added improvements from the summer 1L/s plant. We hope to streamline production methods and create designs that will aid in the overall function and construction of the plant. Through this team, I want to be able to develop and improve machining and fabrication skills, become comfortable with MathCad, and have a clear understanding of water treatment plant designs.
Because of the nature of the team, I have been switching back and forth working on checking the geometry of the sed tank for cutting and preparing the fabrication for plate settlers. I have started to practice to weld as welding is important for the base plates of the sed tank and have worked on completing the jig for cutting the plate settlers. We have now split into two groups: one working on the base plates and the other working on plate settlers. From now, I will be focusing on the plate settlers.
