Holding tank 4 foot prototype Gravity feed Flow Rate = 99.2 L/m 2 *day Diameter = 6 in = 0.152 m Experimentation/Prototyping Objective: Filter 300 L/day
5
Volume ~ 200 L 0.57 m dia. 0.85 m high We will need 6 – 8 filters. Anticipated flowrate = 130.4 L/m 2 *day Area experimental = 3.0 m 2 Area theoretical = 2.3 m 2 Biological Slow Sand Filter Design Schmutzdecke Collection Piping

Clean waterPrimary effluent Testing for Coliform Methods: Laboratory One time use field tests Presence tests Local means Pros: Reveals Fecal coliforms Other bacteria Portable Easy to Use Cons: Cost - $10/each Non-reusable Restricted to occasional use
7
Enjoy Clean Water! Clean bio-layer Switch filters Set flow rates Pump water Ownership Responsibility Better Health Added Convenience User Experience User Attributes User Actions
8
Business Model The CYEC kids will own the system and they make it a success by applying the system to other applications Goal: Provide reliable and cheap means of Coliform testing to the eco-village and the near-by communities. Will be saving $500 per year in Municipal Water costs! Start up cost: $1,684.70
