Abstract
The Chadraghona Christian Hospital serves the people of Bangladesh in a Christ-centered way, providing quality care for the people of the region. The hospital has several significant infrastructure needs, including a source of clean water. Currently, the hospital does not have a filtration system and draws its water directly from an adjacent river that is polluted and often cloudy with particulates. Prior work on this project, performed during the summer of 2022, began the design of the filtration system for the hospital. The work performed this summer focused on improving and extending last summer’s work. Improvements in the system design lowered anticipated annual operating costs by more than 50%. In addition, design changes were made to improve system safety, reliability, maintainability, and manufacturability. With the completion of this effort the design is nearly ready for manufacture, assembly, and installation.
