"Semester" Contributions

FALL 2016

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.

I have mainly worked on plate settlers for the past month (and a little over). We cut all the sheets into their respective sizes and the spacers to 2.3 cm. We measured all 34 sheets and cut them twice- once with the shear using the jig that we made and another with the big shear and table saw. We created a small scale assembly of plate settlers and made sure that all 34 sheets fit into the sedimentation tank. The only thing left to do for plate settlers is to draw a centerline and drill the holes so we could fully assemble the sheets with the spacers. 

SPRING 2017

This semester I am continuing work on the 1 L/s plant as a member of the 1 L/s Plant Testing Team. We are currently working to finish the construction of the plant and will build the flocculators to test their effectiveness.
