Fall 2008

First Half of Semester

The first thing on my agenda was to get oriented to the plate settler spacing research team (a part of the AguaClara project). To get a better understanding of AguaClara project, I read the research articles regarding water treatment.For the beginning of the semester, I am dedicated to completing the documention of the setup of the whole mini plant setup with the plate settler tubes.

Under the guidance of Matt Hurst, I was able to record a very accurate documentation of the experimental setup. Aside from detailed drawings and notes, record the process with digital photos. Instead of using straws and a honeycomb, our group order three sizes of tube-manifolds for the tube settler spacing tubes.

For the teach in, I presented a simply schematic for the experimental setup. Basically, I mapped out how the water, clay, and alum flow through the system. In addition, I decided where the turbidity is measured.

For the midterm report, I got familiar with Wiki. I explore the color fronts, linking attachments, equations to the page that is being edit.
