Ecuador Pilot Plant
The Ecuador pilot plant has been designed at the request of a University Professor in Ecuador. The plant will be used mainly to demonstrate the AguaClara technology as feasible water treatment technology to communities in the area. This is the smallest plant the design team has ever completed at only 3 L/s and the first one in which the AguaClara team will not be directly involved in the construction. This is an exciting test of our ability to market AguaClara technology to outside groups as well as spread our plants to another country. Construction is to begin in mid-May.
Design Overview
The plant is designed for a flow rate of 3L/s. The plant has 3 floc channels, 2 sedimentation tanks, and has an area of 10.5 cubic meters.
A preliminary design report was also created to compliment the design outline and CAD drawings.
Design Assumptions
Despite the low flow rate, the plant was designed to have 2 sedimentation tanks to allow for experimentation. The width of the sed tank was set to be 92 cm, based on material specifications that were given. Other design assumptions match those of previous plants.
Design Results
The following is the design outline for the report. It includes the basic dimensions used for construction of the plant.
