Pilot Plant Meeting Minutes

Spring 2009 Minutes

2-27-2009

Accomplishments

All baffles disassembled and hardware removed
Baffles placed on PVC pipes and several spacers/washers were created with different types of tubing
- Best tubing was selected: polyethylene (PEX)
Prepared for teach-in on Monday

Outcomes

Have 3/8" ID PEX, which works but is a little bit harder to work with than potentially using 5/8" which would fit better over the PVC pipe.
Ordered tubing from McMasterCarr.
Will be meeting with Sara when baffle system is complete to start the plant

Issues

ID of PEX tubing too small. HomeDepot and Lowes do not have required tubing, so need to order from McMasterCarr.
- Not sure if bending radius of PEX tubing will allow us to snap it over the PVC or not
- Are ordering product# 5181K28 from McMasterCarr: 5/8" ID Crack-Resistant Polyethylene Tubing
