I am looking forward to putting the model into motion. No problem with signing the no cost extension for the project, send it my way. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Adewumi [mailto:michael@pnge.psu.edu] Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 1:15 PM To: Campbell, Larry Subject: Summary of Progress Dear Larry: It was good hearing from you a few days ago. We are wrapping up a progress report on the project but I can tell you briefly what we have accomplished so far. We have finished the PCB model development/modification to incorporate most of the main ideas that we talked about when you, John and your crew visited us. Specifically, we have been able to extend the model significantly to include flow regime impact on cleanup efficiency and the amount of solvent that will be required. We have looked at the issue of contact time and contact area. These two and some of the other salient issues turned out to be more challenging to handle than we had originally anticipated but we have now nailed them. In fact, the new program finally worked well and debugged only about 2-3 weeks ago. Since then we have been doing shake-down testing and all is well so far. The results are exciting as you would see in the report. There are two tasks that we would now embark on. Now that the model has all the principal mechanisms incorporated, we are now planning a comprehensive production runs where we will give you cleanup options, etc with critical evaluations of those. That will probably take us until the end of January. This is where I will need to talk to you very often to determine what options make most sense to run so that we do not just run millions of options. Along this line, we will need another no-cost extension letter from you so as to continue the work beyond December. We can talk about how long if you want so as to determine what you would really like to be the concluding point. So, I will call you after sending the report, which should be by Monday next week.
