WEEK #16: MAJOR SCOPE CHANGE

Hi everyone!
The team met with our liaisons and discussed the scope of our current physical prototype. We as a team agreed that the current scope was ambitious given the limited time we have left and have decided to scale down to focus on an intermediate product formation portion of the process. We are still working on the complete theoretical outline of the entire process in Aspen Plus.

Total scope of project (greyed out for confidentiality purposes). Everything to the left is what’s proposed to be kept and the right is to be cut from the physical prototype.

This major scope change allows us to focus our efforts on producing a higher quality physical prototype that can be tested more easily and frequently than if we had to physically assemble the entire physical process. We’re looking forward to hearing back from our liaisons to see what they have to say and if they have any feedback about our decision and look forward to getting our hands dirty with building a functional prototype soon! Stay tuned for more updates as we begin to make more headway with our prototype!
