and prepared a report on it.

Jan 2013 – May 2013

Capstone Design Course: Jones Oysterbed Island Feasibility Study

Investigated various shoreline wall construction alternatives to provide maximum protection from ship wakes

generated from container ships at Jones Oysterbed Island.

Recommended a design alternative of installing Wave attenuation devices (WADs) to provide the natural

shoreline restoration.

Prepared a project report detailing alternative design options and cost estimates.

Provided the recommendation to restore marshland in future upon installing WADs on the shoreline.

Water Quality Course: Designing Systems

Designed a square rapid mixing basin with a six flat blade vane disk impeller for a water treatment plant with

a design flow of 8000 m3/d and determined the basin dimension, input power, and impeller speed.

Designed a surface aeration system for a completely mixed activated sludge system based on the surface

aerator manufacturer, Aqua-Aerobics, Inc’s., requirements and determined the calculated aerator size and

power needed for each installed aerator along with basin depth, zone of complete mixing, and zone of

complete oxygen dispersion.

Designed a completely mixed activated sludge reactor to treat a petrochemical industrial wastewater and

determined the aeration volume, hydraulic retention time, VSS production, oxygen required, and sludge age

of the system.
