Reclaimed water from wastewater has become a prominent source option to manage scarcity. This study explores the potential of coconut husk biomass, common waste material in Ghana, as valuable low-cost resource for greywater treatment. Engineered column treatment was applied investigate influence pyrolysis and biochar properties biomass on Coconut pyrolyzed at 600°C characterized using SEM, FTIR...

Vermifilter is a greywater waste treatment by utilizing the symbiosis of earthworms with microbes. more efficient, simple in design, and easy to maintain. The purpose this study was determine effect vermibed material on concentration BOD5, NH3-N, DO using vermifilter. used four vermifilter reactors (VF) filtration media for gravel, coconut fiber, rough sand, vermibed. Reactor VF1 uses mixture m...

To reduce public health hazards, greywater reuse may involve disinfection, which is often performed through chlorination. The formation of toxic disinfection by-products a negative side-effect chlorine’s reaction with organic matter, trihalomethanes (THM) are one the most dominant (though not toxic) groups. Greywater treatment in vertical flow constructed wetlands leads to decrease dissolved ma...

Partially treated black water from septic tanks and grey water from households in Kuching City were polluting the Sarawak River. A pilot scale ecological sanitation was implemented where blackwater was held in septic tanks and greywater was channeled to a grease trap, biofilters and a constructed wetland before discharge. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficiency of the biofi...

Increasing water stress and growing urbanization force a greater number of people to use wastewater as an alternative water supply, especially for irrigation. Although wastewater irrigation in agriculture has a long history and substantial benefits, without adequate treatment and protective measures on farms and in markets, use of wastewater poses risks to human health and the environment. Agai...

Abstract Subsurface flow constructed wetland (SSFCW) is widely adopted for the removal of BOD 5 and TKN from greywater. The design SSFCW normally based on thumb rules or using a first-order reaction kinetic model. However, applicability this model system/environment-specific which necessitates assessment potential other models. In present study, experiments were planned during initial establish...
