Demo Plant

Spring 2008 team members: James Leung, Christina Campagna, Robin Zhou, Taylor Britton

Motivation & Objectives

The Demo Plant is a miniature model of the AguaClara water treatment plant, designed and used for three main purposes:

• Education. We use the Demo Plant to demonstrate the fundamental processes involved in a typical AguaClara water treatment plant, both to individuals and organizations that would like to get involved, as well as communities in the Honduras who are interested in implementing our technology. The Demo Plant is also used to train operators of existing AguaClara water treatment plants in Honduras.
• Outreach. We use the Demo Plant in most of our outreach activities, in order to increase awareness of our project, and demonstrate the viability of the technology. For more information about Outreach, please see the Outreach Team Page.
• Research. Since Fall 2007, the Demo Plant team has been performing experiments using the demo plant to find ways to improve the AguaClara technology.
