SAKAR - A Trusted Name for Waste Water Solutions
Grey water refers to domestic wastewater generated in households or office buildings from streams without fecal contamination. Sources of greywater include sinks, showers, baths, washing machines or dishwashers.As Greywater contains fewer pathogen than blackwater, It is generally safer to handle and easier to treat and reuse onsite for toilet flushing, landscape or crop irrigation, and other non-potable uses.
Contaminants found in greywater are largely associated with the type of detergent used and influenced by other household practices. Many of the treatment systems reviewed were unable to provide total treatment as each system has its unique strength in removing a group of targeted pollutants.
Greywater is defined as wastewater without any contributions from toilet water. It is considered high volume, low strength wastewater with high potential for reuse and application.
The use of gray-water recycling systems in new commercial buildings offers a method of saving water and reducing total sewage volumes. These systems filter and chlorinate drainage from tubs and sinks and reuse the water for nonpotable purposes
The primary treatment mostly consisted of coarse sand and soil filtration, where the coarse filter alone has a limited effect on the removal of the pollutants present in the greywater, hence it is usually combined with soil filtration and is called the hybrid treatment process.
