The Village Water Ozonation System (VWOS) aims to provide an efficient village-scale water treatment solution for intermediate economies. Our team, led by Manager Eric Kauffman and advised by Dr. Vader, has made significant progress since the project's inception in 2007. We developed a prototype installed in Honduras, and a full-scale system on campus for testing. This semester, VWOS 2.0 focuses on improving system efficiency, reducing power usage, enhancing ozone injection rates, and automating diagnostics and testing. We also request prayers for new team members and upcoming trips.
