40 Reduction of organic matter biofilm media in activated sludge conventional systems
K1* K2* Natrix O* The Kaldnes moving bed process is a biological process where the plastic biomedia is used to ehhance the available biofilm suface in the reactors. This is achieved by the use of small plastic biomedia having a specific surface area in the range of m2/m3. d= 9 mm d= 15 mm d= 60 mm Biofilm media surface area m2/m3 *Kaldnes TM

41 Reduction of organic matter Porous media as biofilm carrier
Sand Lightweight aggregate Particle size mm Particle size 2-5mm Using a special biofilm media iFiltralite - that is developed in s developed in Norway. The biofilm area of this media is > 500m3/m3 and much largeer than any plastic biofilm media.. The result i a nother energy efficient method. I do not know which one is the most efficient this r the KMT, but both have cut energy costs and made N-removal of the cold and diluted Norwegian wastewater acceptablew. Photo: P.D.

78 Conclusions Compact reliable RBC systems are available for decentralized greywater treatment Investment and maintenance costs are high Can produce water for recycling

79 Conclusions Infiltration are well suited for greywater disposal and treatment and much experience exist Infitration systems have very low investment and operational cost Infiltration systems have excellent bacteria removal capability and recharge groundwater aquifers

80 Conclusions A simple vertical flow biofilter followed by a horizontal flow wetland filter is developed for greywater treatment The area requirement is 1-2 m2/ person which facilitates use in urban settings High quality effluent that meets swimmig water standard with respect to indicator bacteria is produced The effluent is suitable for irrigation groundwater recharge or local discharge The effluent constitute an excellent raw water for upgrading to inhouse use.
