A technology database for decentralised wastewater recycling systems

TL;DRAbstract

There are many wastewater treatment and reuse technologies available for smallscale, decentralised and integrated applications. Selection of the most appropriate technologies should be made to ensure public health and environmental quality is protected, while also considering possible construction limitations and ongoing management and maintenance issues. Choosing from the large range of onsite wastewater treatment systems can therefore be complex and time consuming, which may cause the involved parties to disregard a decentralised approach, or alternatively select inappropriate technologies. In order to make the technology selection process easier a Decentralised Wastewater Treatment Technology Database has been developed. It includes a range of commercially available products from both Australia and overseas in the following categories:
\n• Aerobic treatment units;
\n• Sand, soil and peat filters;
\n• Composting systems;
\n• Ponds and constructed wetlands;
\n• Ana
