Concerns/Issues

• Concerns:– Figure out what type of pump we are working

with.– One ME for the entire system.– Our industry representative has moved to

Alaska and has not given us his new e-mail yet.

Conclusions

• Main points:– Have design and preliminary implementation

plan– Materials are on the way

• What’s next?– Worried about finals and other projects but

need to get as much done as we can.

• Questions?
