2015 Environmental 工程 设计团队 - Montana Tech

Environmental 设计团队 Wins Award at Environmental Design Contest

The 2015 Montana Tech Environmental 设计团队 competed at the 25th IEE/WERC Annual Environmental Design Contest in Las Cruces, 新墨西哥. 该队赢得了比赛。 IEE Resources Center Pollution Prevention/Energy Efficiency Award 他们的项目名为, “A Sustainable Approach to the Treatment of NORM in Produced Waters Associated with Oil 和 Gas Production.” The team’s solution is to treat the water in a cost effective way using electrocoagulation to avoid the contamination of naturally occurring radioactive materials in the pipe systems while h和ling produced water. The team members consisted of Brenna Ferko, Melissa Kottke, Samantha Hutcheson 和 Kelly Doble.

WERC

WERC’s Environmental Design Contest is a unique event that brings together industry, government 和 academia in search of improved environmental solutions. The event challenges students to solve technical problems ranging from validation of water treatment technology to improving product stewardship. For the contest, students present 和 demonstrate their research 和 design solutions. The proposed solutions provide opportunities to address concerns about water, 能源, 还有环境.

The team is advised by Environmental 工程 Department Head, Dr. Kumar Ganesan和Dr. 拉贾Nagisetty.

另一个小组被派往拉斯克鲁斯完成. The team consisted of four members: Dylan Uecker, Garrett Craig, Kelly Benton 和 Terry Biere. The title of their project was “Electrocogulation for Sulfate Removal.” This team’s project was on determining the efficiency of using electrocoagulation as a treatment process to remove high concentrations of sulfates from well water. 基于通过实验收集的数据, a bench scale model was designed that would most adequately remove sulfates from well water, 同时在经济上仍然可行.

TECHxpo

Three Environmental 工程 teams attended 和 competed in the 4th Annual TECHxpo on April 30, 2015.  Brenna Ferko, Samantha Hutcheson, Melissa Kottke 和 Kelly Doble’s team won 菲律宾十大彩票平台大学的最佳展示 和 环境部最好的.
