Summer 2009 Contributions

This semester I was a member of the Floating Flocs Team. At the beginning of the summer, I helped to install the new parts to our apparatus and to debug Process Controller. Besides attending team meetings, at which I was part of making plans, setting up experiments, and analyzing data from experiments, I spent extra time editing our Wiki pages to try to keep them accurate and easy to read. This seems to have helped keep our pages fairly well organized.

In addition, I did some of the preliminary research into hydrophobic surfaces. I also took and edited most of the photographs we included on our Wiki pages this summer.

Fall 2008 Contributions

During the Fall 2008 semester, I was a member of the Pilot Plant team. More specifically, I was one of two members of the Sedimentation Tank sub-team. My partner Kellie and I had designed three experiments to perform to test the advantages of using lamella in sedimentation. However, since sludge blankets never formed simultaneously in the two tanks, I put my efforts into improving the Pilot Plant and its wiki pages.

My biggest project has been creating the Beginners' Guide portion of the Pilot Plant Page. This project grew out of the frustration and confusion my teammates and I have experienced this semester. I've added a glossary, a sort of virtual tour, and troubleshooting and tips pages.
