Spring 2017 Contributions

This semester I co-authored the EPA P3 Competition Proposal for "Climate & Community Friendly Wastewater Treatment" and worked on the Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) Reactor Team. The UASB team tested the feasibility of the UASB reactor design detailed n the EPA proposal. 

Fall 2016 Contributions

This semester I am leading the overall team and advising the Milli-Sedimentation Team.

Spring 2016 Contributions

This semester I am leading the overall team, advising the High Rate Sedimentation - Plate Settlers Team, and working on the Fabrication Team. For the Fabrication team, I will be developing a new design for a constant head tank that is easy to fabricate. This constant head tank will be designed to hold both chlorine and coagulant.   

Fall 2015 Contributions

This semester I advised the Chemical Safety Team and the Public Relations Team. As a Design Team member I updated the AguaClara Design Tool to draw an up-to-date Chemical Dose Control system.  

Spring 2015 Contributions

This semester I was Design Team Leader and adviser for the Small Scale Plant Model Team.  I also worked on the Design Team and continued my work with the materials list. For the Small Scale Plant Model Team, I helped repaired the small scale plant model and developed designs for a new scaled model that is sturdier than the existing model. 

Fall 2014 Contributions

This semester was a part of the Design Team and the Small Scale Plant Model Team.  For the Design Team, I reorganized the Mathcad script for the Sedimentation Tank making it easier to determine elevations, especially in the sludge drain and floc hopper.  I also modified the design of the Sedimentation Tank to simplify the fabrication process. Also for the Design team, I worked towards creating a materials list using the AutoCAD blocking function.  For the Small Scale Plant Model Team, I repaired the existing small scale plant model and worked towards creating a new sturdy travel size plant model.

Summer 2014 Contributions

This summer was my first time working with AguaClara and the Design Team.  First, I learned how to use the Automated Design Tool with the help of Meghan, the Design Team leader.  Eventually, I updated the Automated Design Tool for it to reflect the recent modifications made to the designs of the Sedimentation Tank, Stacked Rapid Sand Filter, and Chemical Dose Controller.
