Fall 2008 Goals

• Become familiar with the data collected for the CD so far
• Establish a current MathCAD sheet for the CD by 9/25
• Assess current experimental prototype of the chem doser
  • Conduct necessary lab research on it. This will probably be done by using pressure sensors to relate float height and chemical outflow so that lab set up will need to be put together (9/28-30, 10/7-midterm due)
    • The newest prototype does not have a MathCAD sheet or any test data for it yet
• Modify the prototype so that it is as close to a suitable design for Honduras as possible
  • Test prototype coupled with the automated inflow control weir
    • Install at CUWTP to test
• Develop calibration procedure for the automated inflow system (10/31-11/15)
• Create a plan to implement this in an AguaClara water treatment plant in Honduras during the January intersession or provide detailed info for the AguaClara team in Honduras to fabricate and install it during the fall semester.
• Document results on Wiki and provide intial draft for a scientific paper. (12/1)
