  • Green wall development for greywater treatment and heat recovery : master thesis no.: 74/II. VOI = Razvoj zelene stene za čiščenje sive vode in prenos toplote : magistrsko delo št.: 74/II. VOI

    Commercially available green walls can be beneficial to urban landscapes, but if designed in a way such that tap water is used for their irrigation, they can be quite voracious consumers of water ... that are not optimal for use in arid areas. If they were designed to treat greywater (GW), they could become economical and suitable for all environments, especially in dry climates. GW is a promising irrigation candidate given its continuous production and its composition of organic matter and nutrients to support healthy plant growth. In addition, GW can be used as heat source for preheating domestic hot water. In this thesis, heat recovery systems were overviewed and those that are most suitable were proposed for further studies on GW in combination with green walls, while a green wall system for GW treatment was tested in detailed experiment by designing and building a pilot. Over a relatively short period of time, i.e. four months, for the purpose of establishing suitable biological conditions, a laboratory-pilotscale experiment was conducted. The objectives were to provide recommendations and determine the design parameters for GW treating green wall systems with horizontal flow. The treatment performance of the green wall reached a removal of up to 70% for COD, 74% for BOD, 20% NH4-N and 72% NO3- N, with an organic loading rate of 33 g COD/m2d and 7 g BOD/m2d. The effluent from the green wall design satisfied several national guidelines for irrigation, environmental and restricted reuse.
