The first thing on my agenda was to get oriented to the plate settler spacing research team (a part of the AguaClara project). To get a better understanding of AguaClara project, I read the research articles regarding water treatment.For the beginning of the semester, I am dedicated to completing the documention of the setup of the whole mini plant setup with the plate settler tubes.
Under the guidance of Matt Hurst, I was able to record a very accurate documentation of the experimental setup. Aside from detailed drawings and notes, record the process with digital photos. Instead of using straws and a honeycomb, our group order three sizes of tube-manifolds for the tube settler spacing tubes.
For the teach in, I presented a simply schematic for the experimental setup. Basically, I mapped out how the water, clay, and alum flow through the system. In addition, I decided where the turbidity is measured.
For the midterm report, I got familiar with Wiki. I explore the color fronts, linking attachments, equations to the page that is being edit.
