Technology Description

This technology is a specialty chemical treatment implemented in the recycling of waste water at the domestic level and converts the same to almost potable quality with minimum chemical and power usage. It is composed of a filtering system surrounded by dual chambers in which specific chemicals are introduced into the filtered water. This method is a rapid purification method which does not use expensive equipment and yet controls micro-organisms and suspended solids. The chemicals are safer than chlorine which is widely used in treating water today . The device can be scaled in size to meet user needs. Its size is small enough to be installed as part of a residential plumbing system. It can be installed above ground and outside the residence for easy installation and access. It is well suited to be packaged as part of an overall plumbing solution. In homes, people on average consume approximately 180 liters per person per day for personal hygiene etc. This water is wasted into sewers and has to be replenished from natural sources on a daily basis. The invention is a method to recycle this grey water at the domestic level using a low cost technique which will provide almost potable grade water which can be applied for toilet use.

Potential Benefits of The Technology

The specific benefits are that the technology is simple, easy to use, and does not require expensive filters, pumps and other equipment. The process is very short and does not require high contact times which are common for other technologies. It allows for more than 70% clean water recovery. It is particularly suitable for high rise buildings, rural house holds, stagnant water bodies and revival of the dead water bodies .
