In preparation for our midterm report, I spent a lot of time getting familiar with the Wiki and I tried to help Sarah organize linking through the plate settler spacing section. For the midterm report, I helped update our team goals: Goals and was responsible for the sections of the report on sedimentation, obstacles, and future work: Midterm Report

Since Midterm

I spent the last part of this semester in the lab working towards getting our system up and running. The first couple of times that I ran the system, I learned a great deal about process control and about being sensitive to all of the variables in our system. While running experiments, I checked on the system frequently and made comments in process control, refilled alum and clay solutions, and monitored floc blanket depth. I spent a lot of time learning how to trouble shoot problems by brainstorming and tracing problems, manipulating process control, and asking for help from others. I collected a great deal of our data gathered so far through process control and made many improvements to our system. For example, I setup the sedimentation tubes; upon Monroe's advice, added the control weir to regulate our floc blanket depth; and, generally, assisted with most aspects of the system.

For our final report, I was responsible for the results and discussion section.
