CJE will research the codes and regulations for an AWPF. This will prepare CJE for the site visit that will be conducted.
CJE will research codes and regulation from Maricopa County of Environmental Services Department (MCESD), Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
CJE will research Advance Water Treatments for the AWPF.
CJE will apply for the Arizona Water Association Student Design Competition.
Task 2.0 on next slide
CJE will research the background of the project to help understand the scope of the project and competition.
CJE will research the 91st Ave WWTP and FRW before Site Visit in January 2026.
Data collected from the Site Visit will be analyzed for the treatment train designs.
Task 3.0 on next slide
In this task, CJE will be researching and creating decision matrices for each treatment process needed in the water purification facility. The decision matrices will be based on criteria provided by AZ WEF and will contain criteria CJE deemed necessary. Three treatment trains will be formed using this method and will be selected based on a decision matrix.
CJE will determine the criteria, develop alternatives, and eliminate less suitable alternatives for the physical separation process that involves screening, coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation.
CJE will determine the criteria, develop alternatives, and eliminate less suitable alternatives for the physical treatment that involves filtration for additional suspended solids that were not removed by physical separation.
Task 3.0 Continued on next slide
CJE will determine the criteria, develop alternatives, and eliminate less suitable alternatives for the chemical treatment which involves adsorption, precipitation, softening, and pH adjustment.
CJE will determine the criteria, develop alternatives, and eliminate less suitable alternatives for the advanced treatment which involves treating farther pollutants like pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and PFAs.
Task 3.0 Continued on next slide
CJE will determine the criteria, develop alternatives, and eliminate less suitable alternatives for the disinfection which involves eliminating pathogens, viruses, and bacteria which can harm the public.
CJE will determine the criteria, develop alternatives, and eliminate less suitable alternatives for the brine handling which involves handling the rejected water that contains pollutants.
Task 3.0 Continued on next slide
CJE will determine the criteria, develop alternatives, and eliminate less suitable alternatives for creating treatment train alternatives which involves a decision matrix for the 3 alternatives.
Task 4.0 on next slide
The final design goes over the treatment train process design, hydraulic design, construction phasing, site layout, and project impact analysis.
The best alternative from Task 3.0 will be chosen for the final treatment process
From Task 4.1, the site's layout will be determined for the AWPF
From Task 4.2, the hydraulic design will be done, this Task will consist of a lift station, pump selection, and pipe design
After Task 4.3 and 4.2 are decided, the construction of the AWPF will be determined
CJE will create a public outreach plan to notify the public about the new AWPF and educating the public about the AWPF
Task 5.0 on next slide
The cost analysis describes the probable cost of construction, operation, and maintenance along with the life cycle costs.
CJE will create a opinion of probable construction cost for the project
CJE will create a operation and maintenance cost prediction for the project
CJE will create a life cycle cost for the AWPF
CJE will create a construction phasing plan for the project
Task 6.0 on next slide
This section will analyze the positive and negative global, social, environmental, and economic impact of the final design.
Task 7.0 on next slide
The CJE team will complete the following deliverables set by WEF and Northern Arizona University’s CENE 486 Capstone Course.
CJE will complete the 30% Deliverable for the CENE 486C class
CJE will complete the 60% Deliverable for the CENE 486C class
CJE will complete the 90% Deliverable for the CENE 486C class
CJE will complete the Final Deliverable for the CENE 486C class
CJE will complete the Final Report for the WEF Competition
CJE will complete the Final Slide Presentation for the WEF Competition
Task 8.0 on next slide
Project management will ensure the effectiveness of the team’s communication, time, and resource management.
CJE will track meeting with our grading instructor, technical advisor, and client
CJE will manage our schedule shown in our Gantt Chart
CJE will manage our resources throughout the duration of the project
