The goal of this MQP report was to investigate the manufacturing process of optical fibers at the OFS plant in Sturbridge, MA. Our goal was to reduce water usage to encourage environmental benefits and cost-saving initiatives through our project work. First, we focused on constructing a lab-scale process to deionize the wastewater effluent stream so it could be repurposed. We then redesigned a seal water recirculation system that would eliminate a major source of single-pass water within the plant. The series of recommendations presented in this report and to the OFS team foresee large cost and water savings.
