Waste Water Recycling System
Reuse of domestic wastewater has been occurring for a long time. However, planned wastewater reuse has being gained importance for only the last couple decades, as the demands for water has dramatically increased due to technological advancement, population growth, and urbanization, which impact on the natural water cycle. Reuse of wastewater, which consumes limited fresh water, will actually imitate the natural water cycle via engineered processes. This treatment has been done confidently for the safe reuse of reclaimed water for beneficial uses. The main reuse is commonly for agricultural and non-potable reuses.
Recycled waste water can be used for:
- Irrigation
- Environmental applications
- Industrial use
- Groundwater recharge
- Urban use
- Undirect potable use and in some rare cases
- Direct potable use
Goals of water recycling system is to make domestic wastewater to become clean water for uses. The main processing part is ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis membranes.
