Implementation of TDCs
Treatment of components with low tech and low cost treatment processes as
The SWM examples installed in the 4 MPCs in form of TDC cover a range of measures as wide as possible, spanning from water saving equipment to wastewater recycling. By making various configurations of treatment units and other equipment it is intended to design and implement comprehensive sets. The equipment and the technology to be assessed throughout the design and monitoring phase of the study are summarized below.
Reuse
-
reuse of treated wastewater for minor domestic purposes as flushing, garden watering but also crop irrigation or landscaping.
-
reuse of nutrients in agriculture and gardening
-
rainwater harvesting and reuse options

WSD = Water Saving Devices
AD = anaerobic digester– Biological wastewater treatment unit
MBR = Membrane Bio-Reactor – Biological wastewater treatment unit
HRAP = high rate algal pond
SBR = Sequential Batch Reactor - Biological wastewater treatment unit
UV = ultra violet type disinfection unit
CW = constructed wetland – low cost wastewater treatment system
p.e . = population equivalent
