Spring 2017 Contributions

This semester, I am serving the Research Adviser for the Sensor Development sub team and as a team member for the 1L/s Plant Testing sub team. We are currently working on fabricating our small-scale water treatment plant and getting ready for experimentation. We will be designing, fabricating, and testing a tapered flocculator system and determining if adding a rapid mix channel will improve the performance of the plant. These results will be crucial to any future changes made to the current design of the 1 L/s plant implemented in Cuatro Communidades in Honduras.

Fall 2016 Contributions

This past During the Fall 2016 semester, I was on the Sensor Development sub team. I worked with my team members to further develop the current pressure measurement system and designing and built a fluidized bed solids concentration sensor. We efficiently utilized ProCoDa in order to automate the pressure measurement system and designed and built biogas measurement systems for the wastewater teams. Afterwards, we worked with our workshop mentor Paul to design and fabricate an original fluidized bed concentrations sensor and calibrated the sensor in ProCoDa for the Anaerobic Fluidized Bed team. This sensor can be applied to other teams in the future with the correct calibration.
