What is the Demo Plant?

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

  • Education. We use the Demo Plant to demonstrate and prove the viability of the fundamental processes involved in a typical AguaClara treatment plant, both to individuals and organizations that would like to get involved, as well as people in the Honduras who are interested in implementing our technology.
  • Outreach. We use the Demo Plant in most of our outreach activities, in order to increase awareness of our project, and demonstrate the fundamental processes involved in a typical AguaClara treatment plant. For more information about Outreach, please see the Outreach Team Page.
  • Research. Starting in Fall 2007, the Demo Plant team started running experiments using the demo plant. For more information, please see our Research page.

Project Objectives

Excerpt

The goal of the Demo Plant team is to create a demonstration-scale version of the technologies used in full-scale AguaClara plants in several rural communities in Honduras. The Demo Plant is an important tool used to promote AguaClara in the Cornell community, at national conferences, and for community workshops in Honduras. The Demo Plant effectively shows how water flows through the plant and includes a chemical dose controller, flocculator, sedimentation tank, and stacked rapid sand filter. Furthermore, the Demo Plant fits easily into a standard piece of luggage.
