Feasibility Study of the Geotextile Waste Filtration Unit

摘要

Report developed under STTR contract for the Feasibility Study of the Geotextile Waste Filtration Unit. This study determined the feasibility of developing a deployable geotextile-based wastewater filtration unit. Specifically, it is feasible to develop a filtration unit capable of achieving treatment results equivalent to primary settling tanks in a conventional wastewater treatment plant. The best approach to treating the liquid waste streams in Force Provider modules is to combine the blackwater and graywater wastes and then treat the mixture. Geotextile-based filtration units can be used for conventional primary treatment. A suitable secondary treatment subsystem needs to be developed for secondary TSS and BOD removal. Secondary clarification can be achieved using geotextile-based filtration units. The spent geotextile fabric with entrained waste can be destroyed in an incinerator subsystem.
