Constructed wetland systems are highly controlled environments that intend to mimic the occurrences of soil, flora, and microorganisms in natural wetlands to aid in treating wastewater. They are constructed with flow regimes, micro-biotic composition, and suitable plants in order to produce the most efficient treatment process.
Left: greywater sample from an office building. Right: Same greywater after treatment in membrane bioreactor. Greywater (or grey water, sullage, also spelled gray water in the United States) refers to domestic wastewater generated in households or office buildings from streams without fecal contamination, i.e., all streams except for the wastewater from toilets.
The Folkewall is a construction with the dual functions of growing plants and purifying greywater. [1] It was designed by Folke Günther in Sweden. [2]Inspired by the "Sanitas wall" at Dr Gösta Nilsson's Sanitas farm project in Botswana, this technique makes an efficient use of space by fulfilling two essential functions: vertical plant growing and purification of greywater.
Developing sustainable water supply systems is a growing trend, because it serves people's long-term interests. [16] There are several ways to reuse and recycle the water, in order to achieve long-term sustainability, such as: Gray water re-use and treatment: gray water is wastewater coming from baths, showers, sinks and washbasins. If this ...
Water heat recycling (also known as drain water heat recovery, waste water heat recovery, greywater heat recovery, [citation needed] or sometimes shower water heat recovery [citation needed]) is the use of a heat exchanger to recover energy and reuse heat from drain water from various activities such as dishwashing, clothes washing and ...
DWV systems capture both sewage and greywater within a structure and safely route it out via the low point of its "soil stack" to a waste treatment system, either via a municipal sanitary sewer system, or to a septic tank and leach field. (Cesspits are generally prohibited in developed areas.)
