This presentation discusses hard to treat and high
strength wastewater applications.Residential systems can be impacted by medications, cleaning products
and even high efficiency furnaces.Onsite systems used for non-residential high strength
waste (HSW) applications which can encounter significantly different usage
patterns, waste strength and waste stream characteristics. An overview of key
wastewater parameters will be discussed as well as solutions. This presentation will also focus on a study funded by
the Water Research Foundation evaluating water use from over 23 utilities and
over 1,000 homes showing a 23% reduction in water use since 1999.The primary sources for the reducation will
be discussed alongwith implications
with increased concentrations.Septic
system operation considerations will be highlighted.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe how water usage has changed over the last 20 years
- Identify where in a home significant reduction is water usage can be obtained
- Discuss implications for septic system design and management
- Explain the difference between hydraulic and organic loading
- Discuss how design can vary when organic loading is considered
- Identify challenging water streams from commercial properties
