Feb 9: Design Meeting
-decide on basis for design--what parameter do we want base the rest of the design on: influent rate? size of reactor? upflow velocity?
-settle on specific numbers to be used in design such as goals for HRT, upflow velocity, size of reactor, heigh of sludge blanket
-consider how/if we should make a design that would be flexible to meet different requirement of different waste water
-generate questions for meeting with Professor Richardson on 2/11
Feb 16: Finish Onshape Model of UASB
-make new CAD model because previous design from fusion is a bit disorganized/measurements don't transfer over
-if possible, try to make design so that tipping bucked could be removed if necessary
-also make design so that it wouldn't be terribly difficult to alter # of influent pipes
March 15: Build Influent System
-incorporate research from research team to decide how many influent pipes to use
-test influent system to see that necessary up flow velocity will be met
April 15: Build Effluent System
-focus on preventing loss of sludge and making it so that there is nearly continuous flow out of effluent line
-test effluent system
April 30: Order remaining parts
-find parts that are available in Honduras
