After much development over the summer by the AguaClara team on Foam Filtration, a new system was developed. This semester much design, testing, and fabrication will be required in order to continue the goal of building a compact system. The first task will be to confirm that foam leaching does not occur, and this testing will continue throughout the semester.
It was confirmed that there is indeed leaching from the foam. I will continue communication with Damian regarding this issue, but progress is currently on hold as deriving more information about this leaching is going to be a challenge. Currently we are all working on setting up the small foam filter for experimentation next semester.
