We will have a renewed focus on optimizing all of our unit processes with the goal of reducing construction costs. Now that we have a zero electricity filtration system and an expectation that we will be bringing floc blankets online later this year, we have an opportunity to reduce the size of our flocculator and sedimentation tank. We intend to evaluate the feasibility of using floc recycle from the floc blanket to the flocculator as a way to increase collisions in the flocculator and thus allow us to significantly decrease the flocculator residence time. Do you know of any research on floc recycle for drinking water treatment?
We will be pushing the technology to an even smaller scale with a goal of meeting the needs for communities all the way down to 100 people. That will require developing new fabrication techniques for both flocculation (pipe flocculator with obstacles) and filtration (filter in a pipe).
