Accomplishments

• Built mockup of proposed new baffle system using 1/2" PVC pipe and rubber O-rings
• Planned several versions for the actual baffle design (speced out components, priced out online)
  • 1/4" stainless steel pipe: $10/6 ft from McMasterCarr
    • Will need 4 pipes/channel
  • Tygon tubing (~$1.50/ft) to be used as sleeve around the pipe the keep clamps tight
  • Potentially using spring clamps ($13/100 clamps)
  • Potentially using Nitrile O-rings
  • $8/pk of 100 O-rings

Metrics

• Quantitative and qualitative results from accomplishments and outcomes.
• Potential metrics for unresolved issues.

Outcomes

• A summary of resolutions based on what was accomplished.
• New directions and ideas that result from these resolutions.

• We need to clamp, drill press baffles when we build for the pilot plant
