9/8/08-9/14/08
Accomplishments
- Kellie and Julia went to pilot plant on 9/6/08 for training with Sara.
- Sara, Kellie, Julia and Shaina started plant on 9/10/08. Sarah introduced the team to process controller.
- Team met 9/10/08 and created Fall 2008 task list.
- Team went to the pilot plant to caulk leaky pipe, restring tube flocculator, and secure pipes connecting the lamella.
Outcomes
- The seal between the flocculator and sed tank is ineffective. The plant was turned off so that leaky pipe connecting the flocculator to the sed tank can be caulked.
- caps for pipes were the wrong size
- flocculator was restrung.
Metrics
- N/A
Issues
- If possible a new configuration for tube flocculator will be hung that does not pinch tube.
- need to finish caulking pipe.
- need correct caps to secure lamella
- Next week Shaina and Kellie will work on forming a sludge blanket in the sed tanks once the tube is caulked. Julia and Christine will work on measuring turbidity in the tube flocculator.
