Abstract:
The EStaRS team’s goals for this semester were to design a new EStaRS filter that was compatible with the recently built 1 L/s plant. The 1 L/s plant’s sedimentation exit elevation provided a height constraint of 6 feet and required a scaled-down version of the existing EStaRS filter. The team first worked to gain a complete understanding of the EStaRS filter design and operation using experiences and observations recorded by previous teams. MathCAS calculations from the AguaClara design server were adjusted for the new design and AutoCAD drawings were created to provide a completed design that was ready for fabrication.
