ENGINEERING DESIGN STUDY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SELF-CONTAINED, AIR- TRANSPORTABLE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PROTOTYPE

Abstract

This report documents the Engineering Design Study phase of an overall effort to develop and test a prototype wastewater treatment system for renovating a combined advanced military base wastewater consisting of kitchen, laundry, and shower watewaters for reuse purposes other than drinking and food preparation. The objective of this phase with respect to the overall effort was to develop a number of integrated wastewater treatment systems which may be used to treat satisfactorily the combined raw wastewater. The work performed during this phase consisted of a literature survey, a laboratory investigation, and an engineering design evaluation. The literature survey was conducted to evaluate existing individual waste treatment processes which may be applicable in rendering the combined wastewater in question amenable to the required treatment. The laboratory investigation was performed on a synthetic wastewater to determine process applicability and to demonstrate the feasibility of the most promising treatment systems uncovered in the literature survey. The engineering design evaluation was carried out to design and evaluate a number of prototype integrated wastewater treatment systems using the data obtained from the laboratory investigation.
