Once our team figured out the cause of the foam forming in AguaClara plants in operation in Honduras (put link citing causes), we set about designing retrofits for these plants. Our team came up with four different designs to test:
-the "pipe within a pipe"
-the vertical/inclined plane
-the "teacup" theory, using an overflowing bucket to catch the falling water
-a variation on the teacup theory, using a bucket with an orifice in the bottom (are you going to include visuals here?)
See the retrofit designs page for visuals of each theory.
Our first goal was to narrow down from 4 different designs to our top choice to facilitate and expedite lab testing.
