Grey water treatment

Greywater characteristics and treatment targets

Definition: Washing/showering/laundry wastewater (BOD<sub>5</sub>≤150mg/L, SS≤100mg/L)

Prohibited scenarios: fecal/kitchen wastewater is strictly prohibited (Escherichia coli group>1000CFU/100mL)

Reuse standard: Landscape irrigation turbidity ≤5NTU, toilet flushing water residual chlorine ≥0.2mg/L

Core configuration of tertiary treatment process

1. Pretreatment enhancement unit

Rotary screen machine (screen gap 1mm) intercepts hair fibers

Hydraulic retention time of regulating tank ≥2h (balanced water quality peak)

2. Selection of core treatment technology

Membrane bioreactor (MBR)

Hollow fiber membrane (pore size 0.1μm)

Maintain sludge concentration 8000-12000mg/L

Occupancy area is reduced by 40% compared with activated sludge method

Ultrafiltration deep treatment

Molecular weight cutoff 50kDa

Virus removal rate>6log

Automatic air-water backwash cycle ≤30min

3. Disinfection guarantee system

Precise dosing of sodium hypochlorite (free chlorine 0.3-0.5mg/L)

Ultraviolet assisted disinfection (dose 40mJ/cm²)

Key operation control parameters

Organic load control: F/M ratio 0.05-0.15kgBOD/kgMLSS·d

Membrane pollution management: transmembrane pressure difference <30kPa

Sludge yield: 0.2kgDS/kgBOD (only 1/3 of traditional process)

Multi-scenario reuse benefits

Water reduction

Toilet flushing replacement rate 70%

Landscape irrigation water saving 50%

Ecological benefits

Nitrogen and phosphorus resource recovery rate > 65% (irrigation crop utilization)

Carbon emission reduction 0.28kgCO<sub>2</sub>/m³ (compared with tap water use)

Operation and maintenance costs

Treatment cost per ton of water ≤ 0.8 yuan

Automation rate > 85% (PLC+cloud platform monitoring)
