Greywater Recycling System
Verified by manufacturer 3 months ago
A greywater recycling system.
Application
The Aquacell G Series can be incorporated into residential apartment buildings, commercial office towers and more.
The Aquacell G Series provides a simple modular solution for on site greywater recycling. The system features a controlled, robust and comprehensive treatment process that combines physical, microbiological and oxidative treatments in one efficient package.
The treated greywater can then be reused for non-drinking applications such as toilet flushing, cooling towers, irrigation and more.
Description
Greywater can come from our showers, baths, basins and washing machines. It may be contaminated with a range of soluble and insoluble (particulate) substances like soaps, detergents, skin, saliva, dirt and lint. Each type of contaminant must be treated appropriately, whether it is detergent/surfactant, organic, microbial or particulate. Aquacell G Series has been designed with a multi-barrier approach and combines a range of purifying processes to remove all contaminants, making the greywater ready to use again.
Features and benefits:
- Greywater makes up about 30 to 50 per cent of wastewater. Aquacell’s greywater systems help you re-use it.
- The Aquacell G Series offers high recovery rates with no backwashing, negligible residue and low energy usage.

Specification data - Grey water reclamation systems
System performance | Manufacturer guidanceInsert design parameters including, e.g. sources, end uses and storage volume. |
Collection pipelines | Above ground wastewater drainage system with internal stacks (supplied by others). |
Mains water supply pipelines | Supplied by others. |
Backflow prevention | Supplied by others. |
Collection tank | Pump station and greywater buffer tank.Manufacturer guidanceUntreated greywater will gravitate along the dedicated collection network to a pump station which will be located on the basement level, from here it will then be pumped on demand into a buffer tank. |
Pump | Submersible pumps.Manufacturer guidancePumps within the buffer tank will transfer screened wastewater to the Aquacell greywater treatment system. |
Meter | Recycled water meter. |
Distribution pipelines | Supplied by others. |
Water treatment | |
Coarse filter | Buffer tank: Screen filter.Manufacturer guidanceThe pump station will feed the buffer tank via a screen to remove non-biodegradable solids from the influent. |
Fine filter | Membrane tank: Hollow-fibre ultrafiltration membrane with pulse air scour clean-in-place system.Manufacturer guidance
|
Biological | Aerobic biological treatment.Manufacturer guidanceAir is diffused into the wastewater to create aerobic conditions where a biomass will grow in both aerobic and anoxic zones. |
Plant and equipment identification | Pipework: Colour-coded and labelled to BS 1710. |
Controls | Motor control centre and programmable automation controller.Manufacturer guidanceA touch screen on the face of the panel provides a visible display of plant status, motor manual/off/auto, critical control point status. The plant operates via the touchscreen interface without remote operation in the event of communications failure. |
System completion | Testing and setting to work: Commissioning of the plant to CIBSE standards. Performance testing of the plant via laboratory analysis in accordance with issued approval. |
Standards | To BS 12056-2:2000, BS 8525-1:2010 and BS 8558:2015. |
Disinfection type | Ultraviolet (UV) radiation system to US EPA standards with UVI and UVT monitor and chlorination system. Manufacturer guidanceAlarms in the UV system (lamp needing clean, lamp deterioration, lamp end of life, reduced UV transmissivity) are detected by the photo intensity monitor, which transmits information to the remote monitoring system. This ensures appropriate UV dose at all times. |
Monitoring | Remote monitoring and data acquisition system. Guidance for specification option: The plant monitors the following parameters and uses controls to ensure reliable and safe recycled water supply is available at all times:
Manufacturer guidanceTo monitor all process variables and critical control points. Includes ethernet-based human interface with real-time remote operation and control via web-connected PC, trending and alarming function systems via email. |
Mounting | 304 stainless steel skids. |
Storage | Treated water storage tank. |
Ventilation | Vent to stack (supplied by others). Odour control mechanical ventilation (supplied by others). |
