The problem addressed by the present invention is to suitably generate or update an algorithm for a water treatment system. In a filter management server 1 for managing a water circulation management system W for treating wastewater using one or more filters 31, an acquisition unit 101 acquires information necessary for analyzing filter 31 performance or sample water DW. An analytical unit 102 analyzes the one or more filters 31 on the basis of the information acquired by the acquisition unit 101. An analysis results analytical unit 104 analyzes the one or more filters 31 or sample water DW on the basis of the results of the analysis by the analytical unit 102. An update unit 105 updates the algorithm for water treatment on the basis of the results of the analysis by the analysis results analytical unit 104. This configuration solves the aforementioned problem.

According to the present disclosure, a photoelectrochemical cell for wastewater treatment is disclosed. A method of fabricating such a photoelectrochemical cell is also disclosed.

This specification describes an intake filter for use, for example, in a system that collects greywater from baths or showers for re-use in toilet flushing. The intake filter provides essentially dead-end filtration. An influent by-pass may be provided, but the filter is cleaned as required to reduce use of the by-pass. Cleaning is performed when permeability of the filter declines. An upstream sensor may be used to detect the permeability of the filter. In one cleaning method, flowing water, optionally with air, is used to backwash the filter. The impulse of the flowing water also moves one or more valves to direct backwash water to a sanitary drain. For example, pumped effluent may impinge against a first flap to close an effluent drain, the first flap being mechanically linked to open a flap covering the sanitary drain.

The present invention describes a system comprising a water recirculation device 1 allowing for purification and recycling of water or separation of water, said water recirculation device 1 comprising a water treatment unit 2 and a sensor system 3 arranged for measurement of at least water quality and which sensor system 3 is connected to a control unit, and wherein the system also comprises at least two separation points, wherein one first separation point 30 is positioned within the water recirculation device 1 to allow for recirculation of clean water or separation of a first separated stream of water not intended to be recirculated in the water recirculation device 1, and wherein one second separation point 30 is arranged for separation of the first separated stream of water in at least one high quality water stream and in one low quality water stream, and wherein a decision of recirculation or separation is made by the control unit based on the measurement of water quality.

The present inventive concept relates to a method for recycling water in a water recycling device, the method comprising: receiving used water via a drain; determining a water quality measure of the used water; if the water; quality measure of the water is above a first quality threshold, feeding the used water to a valve arrangement; in the valve arrangement, forming water to be treated by providing external water, the used water or a combination of the external water and the used water; generating treated water by treating the water to be treated using a water treatment arrangement; and feeding the treated water to an outlet. The present inventive concept also relates to a water recycling device.

A toilet sub-system of a wastewater management vehicle includes a toilet and a housing. The housing is associated with the toilet and includes a macerator pumping arrangement having a macerator and a pump. The macerator includes a plurality of macerating knives. The pump is an air pump providing positive pressure in a macerator chamber to pump waste from the macerator chamber. The sub-system further includes at least one motor for driving the pumps and the macerator. The macerator pumping arrangement is operative in a macerating mode and a pumping mode, such that in the macerating mode the first motor first drives the macerating knives to macerate the waste and subsequently in the pumping mode the waste is pumped out of the macerating chamber by positive pressure.

An apparatus for delivering wastewater from a recreational vehicle to a drain includes a housing having an outer wall and an inner wall generally perpendicular or slightly angled to the outer wall. The housing and the inner wall define an inlet chamber above the inner wall and a further chamber below the inner wall. The housing further includes an outlet downwardly extending from the inlet chamber.

Water shortage is a serious problem all over the world. Everyday people use toilet many times and waste lots of water. Some toilet water tank uses half tank of water to flush the pee, but toilet still uses lots of water. In some area without water supply, restroom is very dirty without flush water. This invention can solve those problems with very low cost.

Currently, sewage water is discarded after people take shower, wash hands, clothes or food. If the discarded sewage water is collected, filtered and purified, it can be used as toilet flush water. The key factor for this invention is that the water for flushing the toilet does not require high purified quality, so the cost of filtration and purification is very low. This invention could save 30%-60% of the water used in daily life. For the existing building, this invention requires minor modification to separate the water pipes for toilet flush from other usage on both supply and discharge.

This invention also provides a cheap solution for the movable restroom or restroom without water supply pipe system. With two water tanks, one for water supply and one for sewage water collection, the toilet can be flushed with the discharged sewage water after simple filtration and purification with the initial water filling in the water tank.

A filter assembly and method of filtering wastewater from a washing machine. The filter has a framework for supporting a first filter stage and a second filter stage, a connection on a top of the filter assembly for connecting to a wastewater stream, a diffuser positioned to extend into the first filter stage and configured to rotate about a vertical axis of installation within the first filter stage, and a second filter stage below the first filter stage and configured to receive overflow from the first filter stage. The filter assembly does not include a motor or motorized parts and wherein the diffuser is rotatable by way of the force of the wastewater stream fed into the first filter stage to diffuse the wastewater stream and to spray the wastewater onto and through the filter media allowing the filter media to catch debris within the first filter stage.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for collecting and treating wastewater (1) based on biodegradation-recombination-biodegradation process, comprising: a shell (1.1), the space inside the shell is divided into a first chamber (1.2) and a second chamber (1.3) by a divider wall (1.4), wherein: the first chamber (1.2) contains biological medium suitable for heterotrophic microorganisms growth; the second chamber (1.3) contains biological medium suitable for autotrophic microorganisms and heterotrophic microorganisms growth. The present invention also relates to a system for collecting and treating wastewater combining rainwater drainage used for building, comprising: at least one wastewater treatment apparatus (1) above; a indoor pipe system for collecting and transfering wastewater, rainwater comprising a main vertical pipe (2), substantially horizontal branch pipes; and a outdoor pipe system for transfering wastewater combining rainwater drainage comprising a horizontal pipe (3) for connecting the indoor pipe system for collecting and transfering wastewater, rainwater to at least one wastewater treatment apparatus (1) above.
