2010 Spring AguaClara Filtration Team
Abstract
The design challenge for the 2010 Spring AguaClara Filtration Team is to design a filtration system for the AguaClara water treatment plant. The filtration system must meet the following requirements: reliably treat the current AguaClara effluent water with a turbidity ranging from 5 to 10 NTU to an effluent turbidity less than 1 NTU, not require any electricity, make minimal use of specialized components that would be difficult to acquire in remote communities, and the system should be easy to construct and to maintain.
