Spring 2009 Goals

We finally have what appears to be sufficient funds to begin building a processor! So, this semester will be very busy. That means that it was a good idea to make "specific" goals for the coming months:

• Meet SEI Grant by end of January
• Submit SGA grant by early February
• Create an advising committee to help oversee construction: Partially assembled by or before construction is underway and after we meet with grant committee.

• Controls Engineer---EE dept., Dr. Zondlo, or Amanda may be capable of doing this quite well (she is a computer guru).
• Secure area for operation: By end of January (we have an area to build a skid; however, we need a permanent spot).
• Clement Solomon-follow-up to meet with West Virginia University's sustainability coordinator by February 15th.
• Equipment ordered: End of February
• Construction: Through March
• Basic process built and operable: MAY '09
• Testing procedures for sampling: May '09
• SOPs (standard operating procedures) in place by summer of 09'
• Controls for system by fall of 09'

Woah! How is that for progress?
