Ecuador
...
Pilot
...
Plant
...
The
...
Ecuador
...
pilot
...
plant
...
has
...
been
...
designed
...
at
...
the
...
request
...
of
...
a
...
University
...
Professor
...
in
...
Ecuador.
...
The
...
plant
...
will
...
be
...
used
...
mainly
...
to
...
demonstrate
...
the
...
AguaClara
...
technology
...
as
...
feasible
...
water
...
treatment
...
technology
...
to
...
communities
...
in
...
the
...
area.
...
This
...
is
...
the
...
smallest
...
plant
...
the
...
design
...
team
...
has
...
ever
...
completed
...
at
...
only
...
3
...
L/s
...
and
...
the
...
first
...
one
...
in
...
which
...
the
...
AguaClara
...
team
...
will
...
not
...
be
...
directly
...
involved
...
in
...
the
...
construction.
...
This
...
is
...
an
...
exciting
...
test
...
of
...
our
...
ability
...
to
...
market
...
AguaClara
...
technology
...
to
...
outside
...
groups
...
as
...
well
...
as
...
spread
...
our
...
plants
...
to
...
another
...
country.
...
Construction is to begin in mid-May.
Design Overview
The plant is designed for a flow rate of 3L/s.
...
The
...
plant
...
has
...
3
...
floc
...
channels,
...
2
...
sedimentation
...
tanks,
...
and
...
has
...
an
...
area
...
of
...
10.5
...
cubic
...
meters.
...
A
...
preliminary
...
...
...
was
...
also
...
created
...
to
...
compliment
...
the
...
design
...
outline
...
and
...
CAD
...
drawings.
...
Design
...
Assumptions
...
Despite
...
the
...
low
...
flow
...
rate,
...
the
...
plant
...
was
...
designed
...
to
...
have
...
2
...
sedimentation
...
tanks
...
to
...
allow
...
for
...
experimentation.
...
The
...
width
...
of
...
the
...
sed
...
tank
...
was
...
set
...
to
...
be
...
92
...
cm,
...
based
...
on
...
material
...
specifications
...
that
...
were
...
given.
...
Other
...
design
...
assumptions
...
match
...
those
...
of
...
previous
...
plants.
...
Design
...
Results
...
The
...
following
...
is
...
the
...
design
...
outline
...
for
...
the
...
report.
...
It
...
includes
...
the
...
basic
...
dimensions
...
used
...
for
...
construction
...
of
...
the
...
plant.
