Spring 2015 Contributions
I am a Junior in the College of Engineering. I am currently perusing a Bachelors of Science in Chemical Engineering, and I plan to continue and work for a Masters in Engineering degree. This is my third semester on AguaClara. During my Sophomore year, I was on the Chemical Dose Controller (CDC) team. The work that the team accomplished on the CDC team included establishing a set up manual, redesigning the tank for greater structural integrity, and reducing manufacturing costs. The team also looked into various methods of product packaging and system standardization. Throughout the year, the team would test for fluid head-loss and doser accuracy with different system iterations. This semester, I am on the Countercurrent Stacked Floc Blanket Reactor team. The goal of this team is to ultimately design a series of reactors that can remove Arsenic and Fluorine from influent water through a gravity powered system and Polyaluminum Chloride as the binding agent. This semester, the teams plans to draft design models to test the pressure drops and create a sample prototype. Furthermore, the team plans to look into literature and consult experts to improve the efficiency of the design
