Small Scale Plant Testing (1 L/s Testing)
| Excerpt |
|---|
Can we devise a low-tech way to cycle through different phases: drain, feed, anaerobic phase, then aeration? Can startup be shortened by smart inoculation? Can GSBRs be used effectively to further treat wastewater after a UASB process. Can the amount of biogas produced by an upstream UASB provide enough methane to power aeration pumps? Can we devise aeration schemes that don’t require electricity? Or at least use a small amount (e.g that could be provided by a solar panel) the small scale plant handle and clean high NTU water? Will a new flocculator system preform better than that which was already installed? - Will the plant be available for shipment to HondurasCan GSBRs be used to treat blackwater (high strength wastewater)?

Fall 2016
The AguaClara Small Scale Plant Testing team is planning to research how efficiently the newly built 1 liter per second plant performs. To do this, the team plans on running clay tests to see if the plant can clean water at varying high NTUs, from 5 to 500.
