- Investigated the issues with the current reactor design associated with flow blockage, gas leakage, and low overall COD removal rates
- In hopes of alleviating some of these issues, we are scaling up our reactors by constructing one with a larger inner diameter.
- Designed and constructed new larger reactor with a larger diameter
- Investigated the value of adding a heating element to reactors to achieve higher microbial activity
Summer 2014 Contributions
- Aided the design efforts of the laminar tube flocculator and the turbulent tube flocculator
