Waterless Urinal Technologies

The most popular waterless technologies fall into 3 main categories. The systems differ in their approaches to combating the problems of odours and blockages that would otherwise result from not flushing.

 
Microbiological Systems
  • replaceable cartridges use the action of microbes to break down urine into odourless components and use the trap or u-bend as the seal against odour from the drains. 
  • regular sluicing is required to prevent blockages.
  • incompatible cleaning products should not be used, otherwise the system can be disabled, resulting in odours and blockages
 
 
Liquid Barrier Systems 
  • replaceable cartridges or in-built traps collect debris to help prevent blockages.  
  • an oil-based sealant floats on top of the urine to prevent odours.  
  • infrequent sluicing is recommended, usually when cartridge is changed or urinal serviced
  • incompatible cleaning products and water may degrade the fluid seal, causing odours until the sealant is replaced
 
Valve Barrier Systems 
  • replaceable cartridges or in-built traps have a one-way valve or siphon to prevent foul air from entering the washroom. 
  • most models combine a single valve with a microbiological block to help break down urine and emit scent. The GW6 (illustrated) has a double skirt valve.
  • regular sluicing or servicing is recommended to prevent blockages
  • most, but not all, valve products are susceptible to damage by incompatible cleaning products. The latter should also not be used if a microbiological block forms part of the system.

Process of Wastewater Treatment Plant

PROCESS OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT : Wastewater enters the treatment plant First it goes through a fine screen, next to aerated grit chamber, and then enters the primary clarifier. Sludge settled in the primary clarifier is sent to the fermenters and then to digesters. After the primary treatment, wastewater flows into (BNR) bioreactors. The activated sludge is separated in the following secondary clarifier. The clear effluent flows into Ultraviolet (UV), then to River. Settled activated sludge in the secondary clarifier is pumped back to BNR. Excess sludge is pumped into the dissolved air floatation (DAF) unit for thickening. Wastewater is collected in sanitary sewers (a complex network of underground pipes). Upon reaching the treatment plant, the wastewater flows through a series of treatment processes which remove the wastes from the...

Water Analysis : To determine the potability of water by MPN Test

AIM : To determine the potability of water by MPN Test INTRODUCTION: Water which receives animally & human which form a primary source of water borne disease. Direct testing procedures capable of detecting & quantifying the full spectrum of pathogens & identifying their source is time consuming process because of their variable occurrence, survival rate & origin; hence an indicator system has been identified as a best method for evaluating the microbiological quality of water. A fecal coli form test is considered as most reliable test available for detesting   the presence of contamination of an intesting origin, the coli form group comprises all aerobic & facuttative an aerobic, gram –ve   non spirulating, rod shaped bacteria that ferment lactase with gas format within 48hrs at 35 ˚c. REQUIREMENTS: Single strength of sactose bile growth (10 ml) -10 test tube Double strength of sactase bile growth (10 ml) - 5 test tube Water sam...
