This semester, we successfully designed and fabricated a 1/9 scale model of the sedimentation tank. 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 and cleaned 50 NTU water to meet WHO standards.
