Assessing the Possibilities of Backwash Water Reuse Filters in the Water Treatment System—Case Analysis

Due to the worldwide water crisis and diminishing supplies, it is imperative reduce use reuse it. One possible source of washings created during purification drinking water. Backwashing constitutes 2–8% treated used globally; more commonly used, primarily for irrigation or expand surface/groundwater resources. Therefore, recirculating at beginning treatment system reasonable justifiable, as can lead a decrease in cost that being used. A study variations content two plants revealed requirement pollutants be removed before reused. For safety consumers, presence microbes backwashings from both facilities was essential. Variability amount composition higher surface comparison infiltration treatment; however, greater The quantity microorganisms, including indicator ones, substantially following treatment. On other hand, treatment, large amounts iron manganese compounds were present, recycling which would effectiveness Pre-treatment will suitable suspension separation procedures disinfection. It essential compare costs connected with against anticipated washing. potential purify additional event worsening shortage, most significant advantage reuse. Recycling allow fees environment, even EUR 150,000 250,000 per year WTP, respectively.
