Technology Coollaboration: Turkey – Modular Grey Water Treatment System with Improved Efficiency

Posted on January 3, 2012 by Nisa Tariq

A Turkish company, active in environmental technologies, has upgraded a modular system for grey water treatment with improved efficiency. The treated water cannot be used for drinking but for domestic and / or industrial purposes. The method provides up to 50% savings in water, and drops water treatment costs significantly. The Turkish company offers establishing grey water treatment systems by signing commercial agreement with technical assistance with potential partners.

Treating grey water at the place offers various advantages:
- Helps preventing the natural water resources as treated grey water will be used for domestic purposes (such as reservoirs) instead of high quality water.
- If the grey water is treated sufficiently before discharging to the sewage system, less treatment volume will be necessary, resulting in dropping the investment costs for the waste water treatment plants built by the municipalities.
- Grey water treatment plants will decrease the usage of drinking water amount resulting in dropping costs for water distribution network. It will also save the fresh water resources.
- Treated grey water is a water source to be used for garden irrigation and watering the plants especially in dry climates.
- Treating grey water enables 50% saving in water.
- Grey water treatment plants require less energy in compare to conventional / black water treatment plants as the pollution load is smaller.
- Grey water treatment plants emit less Carbon in to the atmosphere.
- Grey water contains less Nitrogen in compare to black water. Based on the given fact it is easier treating grey water.
- Grey water is a good source of fertilizer source if used as irrigation water.

Partner expertise sought:

- Type of partner sought: company.

- Specific area of activity of the partner: Water Treatment.

- Task to be performed by the partner sought: The potential partner is expected to receive the services of gray water treatment systems.

Technical: German :Multi-phase separation process for digestate treatment.

Posted on December 19, 2011 by Nisa Tariq

A German company offers a multi-phase process for digestate treatment that requires little volume and storage capacity, thus significantly reducing transport costs. The process results in high quality fertilizer and re-useable effluents. Applications are e.g. in wastewater and waste treatment and in biogas industry. Industrial partners are sought for commercial agreements with technical assistance.

A German company, specialised in solutions for water and wastewater treatment, has developed a modular concept for the treatment of fermentation residues. The effluent is of such high quality that it can be readily disposed or even re-used. The concentrates are re-usable or can be marketed as a nutrient-rich fertilizer.
In this multi-phase separation process, the plant sizes range between 20,000 and > 500,000 t/a digestate with a plant footprint starting from 250 m².
The process includes the following steps.
1. Press screw
2. Flocculation
3. Decanter
4. Ultrafiltration
5. Reverse Osmosis

Solid-liquid-separation is carried out with press screw and decanter. Liquids are treated with ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis. The process results in solid as well as liquid manure and clean water for direct discharge to receiving waters or for re-use purpose.

Type of partner sought: Industry, e.g. engineering companies, plant and equipment manufacturers, value-adding distribution companies

- Specific area of activity of the partner:Wastewater treatment, biogas plant operators

- Task to be performed by the partner sought: Integrate process in their equipment and offers.

All relevant know-how will be transferred by the German company.

Partners could be e.g. engineering companies offering services in the field of wastewater treatment and biogas, interested in expanding their portfolio. They should be able to provide installation and after sales service. The relevant know-how will be transferred by the German company.
