Intern/Research Assistant
Performed water quality testing on wastewater and seawater samples to assess removal efficiency, effluent quality, and biomass stability (including TSS, TDS, turbidity, UV 254, Silt Density Index, TOC, COD, and nutrient testing using HACH test kits).Made weekly visits to pilot site to collect wastewater samples and to perform on-site water quality testing (turbidity and sulfate).Assisted with data entry and site maintenance and cleaning, which saved the engineers an estimated 4 hours per week to focus on higher-level work.
