Restricted Flow of Hypochlorinators
Introduction
In Honduras, a Calcium Hypochlorite solution is used in the Agua Clara flow controllers to disinfect the drinking water. Unfortunately, due to the precipitation of calcium carbonate, the system clogs which leads to large decrease in the flow rate (and thus dosing) of the chlorine solution. These experiments have been developed in order to determine the point of clogging and to devise a method to diminish the clogging.
Experimental Model
A model very similar to the model used during the Summer 2008 Demo Plant team was used. A slightly more analytical approach was taken in developing this semesters model. Shown below is the experimental model from the summer with written on the image.
