After eliminating both bucket theories, we decided that testing the last two designs in a lab would not be difficult and would give more realistic, tangible results than our calculations. (You need to put this as a separate page and list separate experiments on different pages)

We used the pilot plant to test our retrofit design in an environment that replicated the actual plants as closely as possible. We set the flow rate of the pilot plant at about 150L/min, which, coupled with the 7.5cm-diameter LFOM, would be roughly comparable to the 400L/min, 15cm diameter LFOM in the plant at Cuatro Comunidades.

The Vertical Plane and "Pipe within the LFOM" tests and results can be found at the vertical plane page and the "pipe within a pipe" page.

Results and Discussion

We were able to document results for each variation of the designs visually with photographs and short movies on cameras, see the gallery below to view the photos.
