[AguaClara] AguaClara Update

[AguaClara]

Hello,

Due to the hard work of past and present members of the AguaClara team, this has arguably been the most successful semester for AguaClara to date. The Agalteca plant construction is complete and the initial results have been very promising.  Initial tests have shown that the plant has been able to decrease 40 NTU water down to 1 NTU and 375 NTU raw water down to less than 5 NTU.  The official inauguration of the Agalteca plant is scheduled for June 18, 2010. 

The biggest news came less than two weeks ago when the AguaClara Chemical Dosing team competed in the National Sustainable Design Competition on April 24-25. Their system is designed to add varying amounts of alums to untreated water based on varying flow rates.  The Chemical Dosing Team came home with an EPA P3 Award and a $75,000 grant! Congratulations to the Chemical Dosing Team.

On April 29th the newly redesigned website went live.  It has tons of information on what the AguaClara team is up to, including pictures of the new Agalteca plant, recent news, and upcoming events.  Check it out at http://aguaclara.cee.cornell.edu.  

Thank you for continuing to support AguaClara.
