Automated Design Tool
The AguaClara design tool is in proof of concept form. In order to run the program the user must use internet explorer and must download and install LabVIEW Runtimes 8.2.1. Download the design tool client for Windows operating systems.
The language file that makes it possible to translate the design tool in to other languages can be downloaded and placed in the same folder as the application.
The design tool currently returns a spreadsheet file containing all of the variables and their values. In the near future we will be adding the capability to return an AutoCAD drawing of the plant as well.
We don't design each plant from scratch. Instead, we do research to understand the fundamental processes of water treatment and invent scalable, reproducible tools that can be combined to form a complete water treatment plant. Then, our Automated Design Tool does exactly that. The ADT is free software that allows users to receive customized AutoCAD plant designs based on inputs like flow rate and region of the world.
