- AguaClara sedimentation tank upflow velocity 70 m/day
- AguaClara sedimentation tank capture velocity 10 m/day
- AguaClara sedimentation Area ratio, Velocity Up/Velocity Capture is on the order of 10, ideally we want this ratio to be as high a number as possible
- AguaClara sedimentation tank plate settler angle of 60 degrees, plate length of 1 meter at 60 degrees, plate material is transparent polycarbonate sheets
- Current AguaClara engineer John Erickson has given a very optimistic estimate of 20 years of water plant use for the polycarbonate sheets
- John has also stated that the plates that were introduced into the town of Ojojona Honduras's AguaClara plant were constructed of fiberglass an after 2.5 years are already showing significant signs of ware and tear
- The next prospective AguaClara plant to be constructed would be in the town of Gracias Honduras.
- Gracias plant flow rate of 50 liters/sec
- Gracias would have an active sedimentation tank area of 14.026 meters x 2.159 meters per tank, and there would be 3 tanks
