Abstract
Design for a full-scale water treatment system for the Ryan Epps Home for Children in Haiti. This design has been based on the construction and testing of a pilot scale ultrafiltration system built at the British Columbia Institute of Technology. Using existing site conditions in Haiti provided by our sponsor, and empirically obtained data from the pilot system, Optimus has developed a unique design solution. The design solution presented by Optimus was developed with considerations made for alternative options and long term sustainability. The design report prepared outlines the project background, methodology, relevant design specifications, and recommendations. In addition to design recommendations, Optimus has included an implementation plan, a business plan, and an operating manual to accompany the full-scale system model. Estimated project costs, and potential areas for further project development and testing have also been identified. Parts: Vol. 1 - Design Report. Vol. 2 - Appendices.
