Renovation of Environmental Engineering Water Plant Laboratory at the University of Iowa

帕金该奖项支持在爱荷华州大学的3424平方英尺的研究和研究培训空间的改造。 该机构环境工程计划的水厂实验室将因该项目而现代化。 这些实验室目前用于一个本科生和四个研究生教学实验室，一个水质监测项目和一个研究项目。 还有，五个教师与利用这些实验室的研究项目。 水厂实验室的改造将使环境工程项目能够通过提供空间来容纳大型实验室规模和小型试验规模的反应器，以及通过增加额外的高质量实验室空间来发展其目前在生物修复方面的实力。 建造和研究大型反应堆的能力对于开发最终可以进行现场测试的技术至关重要。 提供一个相对无尘的环境将使分析仪器在水厂实验室的位置更具吸引力，从而使空间更适合该部门目前正在进行的研究。 这一改造对于环境的研究和吸引学生进入环境工程领域具有重要意义。

Parkin This award supports the renovation of 3424 square feet of research and research training space at the University of Iowa. The Water Plant Laboratories of the Environmental Engineering program at this institution will become modernized as a result of this project. These laboratories are currently used for one undergraduate and four graduate teaching laboratories, a water quality monitoring project, and one research project. There are also, five faculty with research programs utilizing these laboratories. Renovation of the Water Plant Laboratories will allow the Environmental Engineering program to develop its current strength in bioremediation by providing space to accommodate large bench scale and small pilot scale reactors, as well as by adding additional high quality laboratory space. The ability to build and study larger reactors is critical in developing technologies that can be eventually field-tested. Providing a relatively dust-free environment will make placement of analytical instrumentation in the Water Plant laboratories more attractive, and thus make the space more appropriate for the research currently in progress in the department. This renovation is important for the study of the environment and the attraction of students into the field of environmental engineering.
