Mid-Term Semester Accomplishments

So far this semester has been a lot of construction and modification. The pilot plant team and myself has taken the first few weeks of the semester to ensure that the data collected for the pilot plant in the future will be accurate. Although the modifications took longer that was initially planned I believe the time was well spent to ensure that there is no bypassing in the tank, the flow measuring bucket is in place. While the tank was off line time was not wasted the turbidity meters were pressurized, a method for submerging the tube settlers was developed and tank lighting was improved by submerging a large florescent light.

Kevin, Dave and I work together to design and the sedimentation tank that will hopefully be added to the flocculator at the water treatment plant. Currently a preliminary design has been completed and an evaulation of the the design's plausibility is under way, along with a cost analysis.

I did a lot work to update the old reports to the wiki. Compiling large portions of the three past reports. I was aided in this task by Rebecca, Dave and Kevin. For the midterm report I altered and updated a lot of the goals for the semester as well as updating the sections of the wiki report that pertained to the tank modifications. My Gantt chart was also updated and posted to the wiki.

For the reports I produced several of the schematics of the changes to be made for the plant.
