Abstract
The Fabrication Team’s purpose is to address current issues or areas of improvement in AguaClara plants. This semester, the team’s tasks included designing and fabricating a probe for monitoring sludge accumulation in the floc hopper. The floc hopper probe team created an operational tool for peering into the floc hopper in order to know when to drain it. The team also began work for developing the research capabilities of the probe. This would be achieved by taking image data via borescope snake camera and translating it into meaningful turbidity/DOM readings.
