Need and Goa Need and Goa oal Statement: oal Statement: Contaminated Well Water Scope of Evaporated project Solution Contaminated De-watering Waste Peltier solution Water Disposal Desalination System Solid Purified waste Water (for Water (for use) Need: The Peltier Desalination System ne needs an efficient and reliable method of disposing of the contaminated w waste water solution. Goal: To build and test a scale model of th f the system that receives a concentrated solution of contamina nants, boils away the excess water, and removes solid waste from the sy system. Changes: No changes to overall scope

Problems an and Solutions Problem: Short heater wires res interfere with tank rotation Solution: Tech shop staff ad added a wiring terminal and extended flexible le wires.
Problems and Problems and and Solutions and Solutions Problem: High moisture con ontent of salt Solution: Heat the system fo for a longer time Caveat: Heating causes sa salt to harden and adhere stronger to the cyl ylinder
