WRG was established to promote systems that treated and recycled water - a very precious resource. Reuse and and recycling processes are very much dependent on the quality of the influent water (bore, brine, saline, algal, contaminated etc) or wastewater (sewage, greywater, industrial, etc) and also the potential reuse application (domestic laundry, toilet, park irrigation, crop spray, industrial wash, etc).
WRG is active in this sector and has a focus on the following water and wastewater reuse and recycling activities:
Greywater reuse
Sewer mining
Key Benefits
Significant benefits of water and wastewater reuse and recycling include:
WRG uses small dedicated systems for immediate local use - this compares with traditional sewage systems that are static, large footprint and energy intensive
Reduces pressure on potable town water supplies - as the recycled water can be used in irrigation of sports fields, golf courses, etc with great effect.
Chemical free processes - so no detrimental impact on gardens and greywater reuse potential.
Minimal energy requirement - compared to use of riser mains and large treatment plant energy costs.
Fast reaction time (not +30 days in a large pond!) to allow for quick reuse applications on demand.
Minimal odour - as aerobic processes mostly utilised for treatment.
Substantial reduction in maintenance and repair - of overloaded sewage networks in the area where the greywater reuse and sewer mining is undertaken.
Provision of environmentally sustainable renewable irrigation resources - regardless of drought or town water supply conditions.
Direct benefit to the local community - that generated the effluent and also demand quality amenities and landscaping upkeep.
Very favourable capital cost - in thousands not $ millions for EPs up 1000 !
As all sites are treatment process specific in scale, focus, reuse application and fine tuning, it is not possible to detail the full breath of systems available.
