Bangalore-Treating kitchen waste water for reuse

Waste water emerging from the kitchen sink has high organic material from the food dishes as well as oil and grease from typical Indian cooking. This water can be treated with a simple oil and grease trap and a planted filter for reuse as garden water. Approximately 30 litres of water per person per day is use up in doing the dishes in a typical Indian home. The first thing to do is to trap the oil and grease which can be taken out occasionally and put into a compost heap. The food material is also allowed to settle down and separated from the rest of the water. This remaining water is oxygenated using a small aquarium bubbler. This cost Rs 250/- and is obviously a Chinese make. It also consumes less than a half unit of energy every day. About 100 litres to 120 litres of water can be treated and used to water the pots and the garden. If any water is in excess it can be used to recharge the ground through a small recharge well.

Waste Water Treatment -SCADA – Plant-IQ

Demo Waste Water Treatment SCADA System Raising your Plant-IQ
Video Rating: 4 / 5

DigInfo - movie.diginfo.tv There are numerous wastewater treatment methods that use chemicals to purify contaminated water, but these chemicals have the potential to negatively impact living organisms, humans, and the environment. Researchers at Tokyo Kasei University have developed a wastewater treatment system that uses microorganisms found in nature to effectively purify contaminated water without consuming energy or negatively impacting the environment. This wastewater treatment system features high purification efficiency. The system combines an anaerobic bioreactor with an aerobic bioreactor. The anaerobic and aerobic microorganisms are immobilized in the recycled foam glass waste containers of the respective bioreactors. The microorganisms are immobilized both on the surface and inside the foam glass, and when the wastewater comes into contact with the foam glass the microorganisms act to separate the contaminants from the water to purify it. This is a cost-effective, chemical free wastewater treatment system that has a wide range of potential applications to include rivers, lakes, marshes, ponds as well as domestic wastewater.
