  1. Engineering Policy and Economics: Appropriate Reservoir Design for a Flow Dependant Chlorine Reservoir and Cultivation of Moringa oleifera in Sub-Saharan Africa

  2. Agenda

  3. Agenda

  4. The “Triple Bottom Line” Effect

  5. Agenda

  6. Moringa oleifera Leaf Nutrition – ounce for ounce Potassium Calcium Vitamin C

  7. Moringa oleifera Seed Use Water Purification Oil Extraction

  8. Moringa oleifera Constraints and Assumptions 1 hectare = 10,000 m²

  9. Moringa oleifera Determinations • Height of 4 meters • Branch width of 1.5 meters from central trunk axis • Raised bed width of 1 meter from central trunk axis • 1024 trees Figure 1. Aerial dimensions of tree Figure 2. Spacing of trees Figure 3.1 Hectare plantation design Figure 3.2 Hectare plantation design

  10. Moringa oleifera Results Water Purification Oil Extraction Number of people treated annually*: Maximum annual profit: 657 people $68,745 *1g of ground seed treats 1L of contaminated water

  11. Agenda

  12. Chlorine Reservoir Previous Work Lydia Karlheim – Background, patent search, original design calculations 2) Kerri Smyth – Vacuum design from storage tank to pipe

  13. Chlorine Reservoir Chemistry Free Available Chlorine (FAC) Hypochlorous acid Calculating FAC using NaOCl Chlorine FAC

  14. Chlorine Reservoir Chlorination Process - Flow Rate Q = Av Q = volumetric flow rate (L/day) A = area of 3/8 inch diameter opening (7.125E ⁻⁵ m²) v= velocity of flow (varies with height) 1 m³ = 1,000 L seconds/day

  15. Chlorine Reservoir Chlorination Process Volume of NaOCl required to produce a FAC residual of 1mg per L of water for 1,000 people

  16. Chlorine Reservoir Chlorination Process Minimum head loss
