This

analysis
...
was
...
for

both
...
a

tube

and

plate
...
settler.
...
Although
...
tube
...
settlers
...
are
...
used
...
in
...
the
...
lab,
...
plate
...
settlers
...
are
...
used
...
in
...
the
...
Honduras
...
plants.
...
Therefore,
...
a
...
model
...
that
...
takes
...
into
...
account
...
the
...
differences
...
between
...
the
...
two
...
apparatuses
...
must
...
be
...
developed.
