05/2013 to 05/2015Graduate Research AssistantUniversity of Texas at El Paso – 500 W University Ave., El Paso, TX 79902
Analyzed wastewater plant average monthly data: flowrates, constituents, total oxygen demand,
cost analysis. Ran ammonia recovery
pilot utilizing two membrane contactors in series: performed pump priming,
pressure drop measurements, chemical transfer, and sample collection in the
belt press building. Sampled were analyzed for ammonia as nitrogen using a High
Performance ammonia Orion probe, pH and conductivity. Conducted cost analysis
based on ammonia recovery, ammonia transformed into fertilizer, and total
oxygen reduction in the aerobic process.
