Bedload Sampler Top-Mounted Flap Efficiency Design
A top-mounted flap system was developed to reduce bed scooping in bedload samplers. The project yielded a functional pulley design and a partially successful push-pull reel. Further refinement is needed for full control in varied river conditions.
Eng. Yousef Al-Ramzi
Oceanside OMG Pump Pacific Hydro Engineering
Pacific Hydro Engineering designed a pump station to divert wastewater to the San Luis Rey Plant. Featuring a four-pump system, HDPE piping, and flood-compliant site design, the $5.3M project ensures energy efficiency, reliability, and regulatory compliance.
Eng. Hussain Al-Amir
San Elijo Stormwater Capture & Reuse
The Development of a stormwater reuse system to combat water scarcity. It includes collection, treatment, and delivery infrastructure, supporting flood control and groundwater recharge while promoting safe, sustainable water use aligned with regional goals.
Eng. Hamad Al-Azmi
Hydraulic Water Distribution Models for Intermittent Systems
Intermittent water systems, common in developing regions, face challenges with quality, pressure, and supply. Using WaterGEMS software, a simplified model was developed from a real system to support engineers working with limited data and resources.
Eng. Hussain Burammanah
Pathogen Quantification Across Drinking Water Treatment Works: E. Coli with GFP
Quantifying viable E. coli using GFP is explored through plate counts, ddPCR (±PMA), and flow cytometry (±PI). The study compares traditional and molecular methods to distinguish live from dead cells, aiming to improve pathogen tracking in water treatment.
Eng. Mai Al-Qattan
The Potential of Mycelium-Tamarisk Composites in Sustainable Construction for Temporary Structures
Mycelium-infused Tamarisk wood offers a sustainable alternative to conventional construction materials. By enhancing wood’s mechanical properties and addressing environmental concerns, it presents a promising solution for temporary building structures.
Eng. Adel Al-Azemi
Petroleum Contaminated Remediation
A petroleum-contaminated site in Broomfield, CO is being remediated using bioremediation, phytoremediation, and bioventing to meet a 500 ppm TPH target. The $13,000 plan ensures environmental compliance and future recreational use near the new QBP facility.
Eng. Abdulrazzaq Al-Saie
Design Services for San Elijo WWTP Aeration Basins Conversion
ABC Engineering designed an aeration basin conversion at San Elijo WWTP to improve effluent quality via denitrification. Using the MLE process, the project meets NPDES nitrate limits, enhances efficiency, and supports regional sustainability for $1.17M.
Eng. Abdullah Al-Rujaib
Assessing the Effects of Different Urbanization levels on Surface Water Quality and Biodiversity
Urbanization alters natural rivers through channel modification and pollution, impacting water quality and biodiversity. By analyzing pollutants and using eDNA to identify microbial taxa, the project highlights trends and potential drivers of urban river degradation.
Eng. Alia Amir
Evaluating The Impact of Different Rooftop Designs with Solar Panels on Stormwater Quality
Green roofs paired with solar panels improve vegetation life and water quality. A campus experiment showed reduced temperature and TDS levels, with deeper substrates enhancing results. Solar panels provided shade and helped lower conductivity and pollutant runoff.
Eng. Yosiff Hajji
Wemlinger Water Purification Facility - Plant Upgrade
To combat rising TOC and taste/odor issues at Wemlinger WPF, a DAF and PAC system was selected for its efficiency and compatibility. The $173M solution improves filtration, extends filter life, and offers a sustainable, adaptable response to climate-driven water changes.
