Saturday 5.23 we visited the Tamara and Cuatro Comunidades plants with Bill Edgar, the general manager of CEU Plan, a U.S. company that gives online continuing education training to water treatment plant operators. Before working in education, Mr. Edgar ran a construction company that built water treatment plants. He has a lot of practical experience in treatment plant construction and operation and was able to give us some great ideas:
- We should look for small pipe cleaners or brushes to clean the chlorine and sulfate dosing hoses.
- The dosing tables would be more useful and would last longer if they were laminated and posted on the wall.
- A piece of rebar with a fork on the end could be used to open valves in the drain canal without bending down. We had considered this option before but have still not implemented it.
- It might be possible to close off the sed tank inlet chimneys with vertical gates made from ¼" thick PVC plastic. This could be especially useful in larger plants.
- If it is available and affordable in Honduras, galvanized steel grating would be ideal to cover up the drain canal.
