III. Project
The interns from UST were assigned to different projects. I and Veronica was assigned
to airlift vortex generator. The objective of this project is to minimize the energy lost that
is happening in an air lift pump. The main function of the airlift pump is to lift the stagnant
brine solution from the sea to the surface. Our goal is to design a vortex generator that
will aid the air lift pump with its function. We discuss our ideas and designs with our
supervisor for the proper funding as well as what material the vortex generator will be
made of. We also help in other projects such as the Science Museum, Geodesic Dome
and Bamboo Salt Making.
