Water Conserving Strategy • Water conserving washing machines • LG WM2677H • 40.9→12gal = 71% • Low flush toilets • Caroma Smartflush • 1.5→0.95gpf = 37% • Low flow showerheads • Niagara Prismeare • 2.11.5gpm = 28.5% Initial Assumptions Water Balance Nutrient Balance Greywater System Blackwater System
Water Balance • Purpose: Viability of water reuse scheme • Source of data: AWWA water use survey/Stanford data • Method Initial Assumptions Water Balance Nutrient Balance Greywater System Blackwater System
Water Balance- Assumptions Regulatory ambiguity concerning clothes washing water • Scenario 1 – All clothes washing water recycled • Scenario 2 – Clothes washing water sent to sewage 1 Recycled Water Clothes Washers Toilets Irrigation 2 Sewage Initial Assumptions Water Balance Nutrient Balance Greywater System Blackwater System
Water Balance - Results Initial Assumptions Water Balance Nutrient Balance Greywater System Blackwater System
Nutrient Balance • Purpose • Identify major nutrient sources • Optimize treatment for reduction in nutrient loading • Methodology • Scale per-capita production of BOD, COD, N, and P (from literature) Initial Assumptions Water Balance Nutrient Balance Greywater System Blackwater System
Nutrient Balance - Results Initial Assumptions Water Balance Nutrient Balance Greywater System Blackwater System
Nutrient Balance - Conclusions • Compost pile for kitchen scraps removes 35% of P • Divert up to 60% of N, 25% of P by separating urine • Liquid kitchen waste comparable to solid toilet waste as nutrient source Initial Assumptions Water Balance Nutrient Balance Greywater System Blackwater System
Water Quality of Wastewater Stream • Purpose • Identify experimental uses • Optimize grey and black water treatment • Methodology • Combine water and nutrient balances Initial Assumptions Water Balance Nutrient Balance Greywater System Blackwater System
Water Quality of Wastewater Stream - Results Initial Assumptions Water Balance Nutrient Balance Greywater System Blackwater System
Water Quality of Wastewater Stream - Conclusions • Separated urine is highly concentrated source of N and P -> fertilizer • BOD levels comparable in liquid kitchen and solid toilet waste -> combine treatment • Concentrated laundry water diluted by showers Initial Assumptions Water Balance Nutrient Balance Greywater System Blackwater System
