Project Fundamentals
Wastewater Reuse Plant
Potable Water
Influent
Sludge

• Direct wastewater reuse
• No watercourse natural purification
• WWTP and WTP condense into one plant

6
The Importance of Reuse

• Water shortages are increasing
• Groundwater, surface water, desalination
• Water conservation is necessary

7
Project Statement

• To research and design a wastewater reuse plant
  that produces potable water that meets potable
  water quality standards.

8
Project objectives

• Meet a need somewhere
• Focus on environmental impacts
• Utilize cutting-edge technology
• Expand knowledge of water chemistry

9
Design Alternatives

• Handle varying effluent streams
• Reuse non-potable wastewater
• Irrigation
• Groundwater recharge
• Industrial cooling
• Consider another related problem
