Shower Water Recycle. 1. Raw Shower Water Characterization and Treatment

Abstract

Shower wastewaters collected at Camp Edwards, MA, on three different days were characterized in terms of physical, chemical and microbiological parameters, and were found to be similar to shower wastewaters from earlier studies. Camp Edwards shower waters were found treated with aluminum sulfate and powdered activated carbon, and were filtered through a bench-scale diatomaceous earth filter designed to simulate the EARDLator. The treated shower water has been characterized and evaluated for potential recycle. Keywords: Wastewater treatment.
