Spring 2017 Contributions

This semester, I will be working on the Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) team. UASB technology is used as the first step to treat wastewater. The Spring 2017 UASB team will focus on designing, fabricating, and testing a small scale UASB reactor. The ultimate goal of this team is to produce a small scale wastewater treatment plant for use in small communities in Honduras and India. 

Spring 2016 Contributions

This semester, I am on the Fabrication subteam, working specifically on modifying OStaRS (Open Stacked Rapid Sand Filter) assembly. The OStaRS is currently installed in AguaClara treatment plants in Honduras. In order to clean out these existing filters and to construct new ones, an easier assembly process must be developed. The tasks for our team is to create a movable platform for operators to stand on while installing modules, fabricating spacers to insert between modules, and designing a support structure for the trunk lines. Additionally, this semester I will be team leader and also advise the Enclosed Stacked Rapid Sand Filter (EStaRS) Team and the Ram Pump Team.
