Prefabrication 1L/s (Prefab)
Spring 2016
The goal of the Prefabrication 1 L/s team is to research, test, and determine fabrication methods for the full-scale plant production in Honduras in the near future. We will also continue to design novel geometries for low-flow sedimentation tanks and refine the integration of the dosing, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration processes. This semester, we successfully designed and fabricated a 1/9 scale model of the sedimentation tank. Using a tube flocculator in the lab, we cleaned 50 NTU water to meet WHO standards.
