I will be working on the new High Rate UASB wastewater subteam this semester, building on my work with the old UASB designs from last semester, to help design new reactors that create a fluidized bed to increase granular sludge contact with wastewater. The goal of the subteam is to lower HRT while raising SRT, so our semester will involve designing new reactors, constructing them, inoculating them, and then conducting experimental tests to measure COD, methane production, and sludge bed concentration. As the Materials Coordinator, I will be in charge of the ordering process to get all the materials we need to successfully build and run our reactors.
