End of Semester Accomplishments:

The pilot plant team split into three sections mid way through the semester. Kevin, Dave and myself were all a part of the sedimentation tank design and construction group. I did significant work on the multiple versions of the sludge blanket sedimentation tank design that were done before the the final design that was constructed was completed. I also worked on the lamella design. Although still under adjustment much time and thought were put into the first two versions (the third is currently being worked on) Also this semester, between Dave, Kevin and myself we constructed the entire sedimentation tank ourselves. From initial construction to the fixes that went in afterwards. In regards to research, although no quantitative research came out of the sedimentation tank, much knowledge was gathered from observing flow through the tank and observing how the blanket formed and how the tank reacted to a very low alum dose (tiny floc) compared to a higher dose (large floc).

The wiki reported was updated through out the semester as designs changed and research and construction continued. Because there was a continuous adjustment throughout the semester with all group members contributing to the wiki and reviewing it should be noted that the amount of comments on the sedimentation page are not completely reflected of the amount of peer review that actually took place.

Pages Worked On:

• I created many equations pages (not listed here to avoid clutter)
