Fall 2016 Contributions

This semester I am a new member in the Prefab 1L/s team. Our team goal is to construct a new 1L/s plant which has a more simplified design for the flocculator and a optimized overall structure. For my part, I want to use my higher level of graduate knowledge background to contribute solutions and ideas to my team.

Until now I've participated in the pipe cutting part of work in our team. We set up the pipe at right position and right angle, using the jig built by summer team to do the cutting. However, the first cut was not accurate and thus made the welding infeasible. So we had to do separate cutting on each half piece. By doing that, we moved the jig about one corrugation width of the pipe on both pieces, which means our pipe was shortened comparing with summer team's work. The angle-setting of this second time cutting became a tricky problem because we found that the jig was actually not very flat by itself. According to what Monroe had told us, we chose to ignore some little errors and were trying to make sure that they were as little as possible so as not to affect the welding. Right now we just finished the second cutting of each pieces and were ready to do the welding and construct the inside construction and design the flocculator.
