This semester I am a member of the 1 liter per second plant testing team. As someone who has This past summer, I helped build this plant during the summer of 2016, I am very familiar with it, and I hope to help my new teammates understand how the plant operates. We are planning to run clay tests with varying NTUs to test how effectively this plant can clean water, and to determine if any upgrades need to be madeso I hope to share my knowledge of it to my other teammates. The 1 L/s Small-Scale AguaClara plant is going to be shipped to Honduras in November for field testing when the team and I get there this winter. The plant has proved that it can perform as well as a traditional AguaClara plant. When testing high NTU influent water, the plant returned < 1 NTU effluent water, which is drinkable. I am excited to see something that I have worked on make its way to the field and expand the options that AguaClara has to help different communities.
