Facilities
The Environmental Engineering
facilities consist of laboratories supporting the research of
faculty members. Below, the facilities are listed by faculty
member. Laboratory addresses refer to the following
abbreviations:
ECCE, Engineering Center Civil
Engineering (the department's wing)
ECSL, Engineering Center
Stores and Laboratories (located between Civil and Chemical). |

|
Bielefeldt
Lab
ECSL 1B13 |
Located
in the Engineering Center's recently completed Stores & Labs
wing, this lab contains a gas chromatograph, a bio-hood,
respirometers, incubators, and computer-driven instrument control
and data acquisition systems.
|
Hernandez
Lab
ECSL 1B17 |
The
Hernandez Lab contains an epifluorescence
microscope and image analysis system, other microscopes for
microbiological assay, and a bio-hood.
|
McKnight
Lab
INSTAAR |
This
lab, located on the
East
Research Campus in the Institute
for Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR), houses a
flame/furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometer and a full
complement of surface water sampling equipment.
|
Ryan
Lab
ECSL 1B21 |
This
lab houses a dynamic light scattering photometer, a laser Doppler
velocimetry microelectrophoresis instrument, a liquid
scintillation counter, a computer-controlled automatic titrator, a
UV-visible spectrophotometer, two computer-controlled flow-through
column systems, computer data acquisition systems, groundwater
sampling equipment, and an intermediate-scale
(10 m length, 1.5 m height) aquifer test tank.
|
Silverstein
Lab
ECCE 1xx |
This
lab contains a full range of sequential batch
reactors with associated pumps and computer-controlled data
acquisition systems and a bio-hood.
|
Summers
Lab
ECCE 1xx |
This lab contains membrane filtration testing rigs.
|
Instrument
Lab
ECCE 1xx |
This
shared laboratory contains three different types of total organic
carbon analyzers, a high pressure liquid chromatography unit
currently used for size exclusion chromatography, a liquid
chromatograph, a particle size analyzer, ultrafiltration test
equipment, and a UV-visible spectrometer.
|
Undergraduate
Lab
ECSL 1B11 |
The
current undergraduate laboratory, which supports the laboratory
component of CVEN 3454 Water Chemistry, houses two gas
chromatographs with computer-controlled data acquisition systems,
titration equipment, meters for pH and conductivity, portable
field test kits for colorimetric analysis, visible
spectrophotometers, jar test apparatuses, and some field sampling
equipment. Much of the equipment in this lab has been
provided by the Engineering Excellence Fund, a student-funded and
organized committee that reviews proposals for improvement in
education.

|
Computers |
Students
have access to high-performance work stations and PCs for advanced
computing in the Bechtel and Leung Computing Laboratories and CADSWES.
In addition, PCs are extensively used throughout the
laboratories for data acquisition and analysis.
