Summary[edit]

Description

Cornell University - AguaClara Team showing off their 'Stacked Rapid Sand Filtration': A Robust Filtration Process for Sustainable Drinking Water.

Suitable drinking water is a critical need world-wide, and fresh water is the limiting resource on the planet for the foreseeable future. Cornell University students have built an innovative municipal water treatment system in Honduras that uses a stacked rapid sand filter. They are now improving the design to reduce the energy and water required for maintenance, lower capital and operating costs and simplify daily operation.

The stacked geometry of their design allows the same flow rate for the filtration and backwash cycles without the expensive pumps or elevated tanks required to backwash conventional rapid sand filters.
