StaRS Filter Injection and Extraction (FInE)
The AguaClara StaRS (Stacked Rapid Sand) filter originally used slotted pipes to inject water into and extract water out of the sand bed. These slots can gradually clog especially if the water from the sedimentation tanks isn’t very clean. The goals for this team are to explore and invent alternatives to slotted pipes that would be less prone to clogging.
