Foam Filtration
As promised, since the last "check in," the Foam Filtration team did look into implementing a single column design. After various calculations and drawings, the final design consists of a single 55-gallon drum, 23" in diameter that uses a ratchet lever hoist and pulley system for "plunging" the dirty water out, as well as a siphon for removing dirty water that resides on top of the compressed foam. The system will also be equipped with an LFOM, chemical doser, and chlorination system-- which will all, including the drum and cleaning system, be mounted on a wooden frame. Similar to the previous semesters, the filter will still consist of 30 and 90 PPI foam, however, it will now be in 4" blocks to allow the operator to manipulate the amount of each to be included as per the turbidity of the water. This system will be taken down to Honduras by myself and a fellow team member in order to exhibit the new system to the AAP there and was submitted as a part of an EPA P3 to be used as an emergency design.
