Treatment of Urinal Waste Water using Natural Coagulants

Abstract

The treatment of yellow water which is collected from a urinal is treated in a way to reuse it as a flushing water effectively. An existing methodology was differently tried and worked it out to treat the yellow waters. The two parameters were concentrated much for the safety reusing of the treated yellow water. Those two are Odor and Color which has a great impact in the reusing. There are many existing methods to treat the yellow water and reusing it for gardening purpose and reusing many more. But those methods involve addition of chemicals and very high cost of budgeting. The core of the project is to treat that yellow water effluent in a natural method without using any chemicals. We tried with many of the natural coagulants such as Vetiver, Guava leaf, Tamarind, Rose and more. But the result was not concluded. Hence, we got existing methodologies using natural materials and we colloid them to a single structure and the process carried. The process consists of a Dilution, Aeration and two filtrations of Sand filter and Carbon filter. While those yellow water passing through those chambers sequentially it gets its results as the Aeration part removes the foul odor while Sand and Carbon filters removing the color in the yellow water. Eventually the phenomenal result is achieved.
