also continue to design novel geometries for low-flow sedimentation tanks and flocculators, and refine the integration of the dosing, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration processes in these smaller plants. |
Spring 2016
This semester, we successfully designed and fabricated a 1/9 scale model of the sedimentation tank. Using a We showed that a large, plastic corrugated pipe was a potential low-weight, low-cost solution to traditional concrete tanks and determined that plastic welding was a viable fabrication method for tank construction in Honduras. We also succeeded in testing our sedimentation tank using a pre-existing tube flocculator in the lab , we and cleaned 50 NTU water to meet WHO standards.
