gray water treatment

Reasons for the need to resort to gray water treatment

The limited water resources in the Kingdom, commitment to environmental protection, and the pursuit of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 prompt us to resort to taking measures to conserve water, and to begin expanding the scope of gray water treatment technology. All reasons lead us to one path that we must hasten to follow.

Gray water

Wastewater is discharged from homes including showers, washing machines, drains, and kitchens. Except for sewage toilets (black water).

The reasons that lead us to focus on gray water treatment can be listed as follows

  • Gray water makes up more than 85% of wastewater.
  • This treatment leads to water conservation.
  • Gray water recycling and treatment is easy and simple.
  • Treated greywater does not carry any harmful bacteria or disease pathogens.
  • Gray water treatment reduces the amount of wastewater required.
  • Treated gray water provides a reliable new supply of irrigation water which leads to increased agricultural productivity.
  • Treated gray water provides a new water resource for firefighting systems.
  • Gray water treatment provides a new water resource for industrial use.
  • Treated gray water provides a new water resource for car wash companies.
  • Treated gray water can be used to flush toilets.

Why greywater treatment is an appropriate vision of the future

  • We are facing a global water crisis and without water, we cannot survive. Many people don’t realize that water is essential to social well-being, economic development, business growth, and the health of natural ecosystems.
  • Therefore, the installation of decentralized water recycling systems in every building is making a real impact on the global water crisis.
  • Our planet has limited freshwater resources. Climate change has led to severe droughts and water stress is a challenge in many countries, including Europe. It is estimated that by 2030, some 700 million people worldwide may be displaced due to water scarcity.
  • However, we still use fresh water to flush toilets, wash clothes, and water gardens, which doesn’t make sense. Therefore, recycling gray water is a necessity at the present time.
  • Also, by the year 2050, the Earth’s population will be around two billion and we will need 55 percent more water than what we use today, so it is our duty for all of us not to ignore the problem and do anything about it. The current water crisis is a wake-up call for those who ignored all the warnings of worsening water scarcity, but the good news is that we can help solve it ourselves by using water twice.

What are the environmental benefits of gray water treatment?

A greywater treatment system allows for water and energy savings and allows users to reduce their carbon footprint. Because water consumption can be reduced by 45 percent and wastewater emissions reduced by 45 percent. This reduces the carbon footprint of consumers since less water needs to be transported to the buildings in which they live, and on the other hand, wastewater treatment facilities treat less wastewater. So it always pays to act wisely and to use water twice. With a greywater treatment system, users can easily do this without affecting hygiene or quality of life. By 2050, the Earth’s population will be nearly two billion and we will need 55 percent more water than we use today.
