Greywater (shower, washing, cleaning, etc.) constructedwetland, gardening, wastewater pond, biol.treatment, membrane-technology irrigation, groundwater recharge or direct reuse Learning objectives: Get familiar with various treatment options and with the application of various processes 4.7 Greywater treatment Can we remove all the pathogens and heavy metals? What is in the sludge?

Common problems in soil filters 1. Overloading(suspended solids, high BOD, water) 2. Uneven distribution(over surface, over clay) 3. Failure in drainage(waterlogging, roots) 4. Wrong choice of sand and gravel(texture, mineral particle shape) 1 2 3 4 Jan-Olof Drangert, Linkoping university, Sweden

Aerobic biofilters and energy Extensive Intensive Sorption and irrigation systems Rapid infiltration systems Biofilter reactors • - Drain mulch basin • Swales & resorption • trenches • Wetland irrigation • (overland flow & sub- • surface flow, and • impounding wetlands) Soil filters: - Infiltration (open, covered submerged - Sandfilters Artificial filter media: - Indrän, infiltra etc. - Trickling filter - Bio-rotors Revised from P. Ridderstolpe, WRS, Uppsala
Removal rate of microorganisms in various wastewater treatments (log units) Large variations in practice due to quality of management Sources: WHO, 2006 and Jimenez et al., 2010
E: Treatment of sludge • - All treatment processes produce sludge, be it much or little • Choice of treatment according to kind of reuse • We need to de-toxify our chemical society Source: EU, 2008
Start from the end !(centralised example) Our thinking is now on global challenges as well as on local wishes for system performance and status Sludge drying bed We decide what quality we would like the final products to have.
