Chemical Dose Controller - Spring 2014

Andrea Cashon, Saugat Ghimire, Jeanette Liu

Abstract:

The Chemical Dose Controller team completed the design and fabrication of the single lever arm assembly. This assembly will be utilized in low flow plants that only require a chlorine doser. The new Chemical Dose Controller maintains the same functionality of the previous model. It will also be chemically resistant and require fewer materials, lowering fabrication and shipping costs. The team also created a float valve for the constant head tank that has fewer corrosive metal components and has the floatin line with the orifice. The team has created a new height adjustment system for the constant head tank and a dosing tube air removal system that utilizes a wye channel. Additionally, the entrance tank float was redesigned to be smaller and lighter, for easier and cheaper shipping. Finally, the team created an items catalog that contains every single component - and it’s corresponding McMaster-Carr identification number - used in a Chemical Dose Controller system. This catalog will help future Chemical Dose Controller teams order components and construct new systems.
