Il trattamento biologico delle acque reflue è un approccio emergente per il trattamento idrico con un potenziale per l’utilizzo nei paesi sviluppati e in via di sviluppo, sia in ambito urbano che rurale. Questo studio analizza tre trattamenti biologici: living machines (LM), vermifiltrazione e celle a com- bustibile microbico per il trattamento dei reflui. Lo studio ha valutato la quantità di acqua risparmiata e indirizzata al riuso (in base alle caratteris- tiche chimiche del filtrato finale) e i benefici ottenuti (prodotti come fertil- izzante ed energia elettrica) derivati dall’uso di queste forme di trattamento in tre scenari residenziali applicabili e approssimati alle tipologie urbane es- istenti. Lo studio ha usato le migliori soluzioni esistenti mettendole a punto sul consumo idrico dei casi in esame, valutandone la fattibilità, di modo da compensare e ridurre il carico generato dai reflui fognari nell’ecosistema, minimizzare l’esborso economico dei residenti ed eliminare alcune spese come l’acquisto di elettricità e fertilizzante.

Abstract
Biological wastewater treatment technologies are emerging approaches for water treatment that has the potential for use in developed and developing countries, whether in a rural or urban plan.This study analyzed three biologi- cal treatments that are: Living Machines (LM), Vermifiltration and Microbial fuel cells for the treatment of municipal wastewater. This study evaluated the amount of water saved and redirected for reuse (based on the chemical characteristics of the final effluent) and the generated benefits (products as fertilizers and energy as in electrical energy) from using these forms of treat- ment in three residential scenarios applicable and approximate to existing urban plans. This study used successful installations tailored to fit the water usages of the designated plan to evaluate the applicability of this technology to offset and reduce the burden created by wastewater on the indicated ecosystem, to minimize the monetary expenses on the residents and eliminate some consumptive practices such as electricity and fertilizer purchasing prices.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
