Greywater, which is the domestic effluent without toilet contribution, can be an important alternative to meet the nonpotable demand in airports, once it represents most of the domestic sewage volume and presents low pollutant concentrations. The objective of this study was to assess the potential and feasibility of using greywater to meet nonpotable demands in airports, and it was carried out at the Tancredo Neves International Airport, in Confins, Minas Gerais. The quality assessment of greywater from different sources at the airport was performed and the data obtained was analyzed using descriptive multivariate statistics. Also, a survey was carried out to obtain information regarding greywater production. A treatment plant consisting of an anaerobic filter followed by ultraviolet disinfection was proposed and its efficiency was evaluated. The results showed that there are no impediments to greywater reuse in airport environments. The greywater volume produced can meet the non-potable demand after inexpensive and simplified treatment. Therefore, greywater reuse at airports should be strongly encouraged, as it can provide great savings in financial and environmental resources. / Ambientes aeroportuários consomem grandes volumes de água para a manutenção de sua infraestrutura e rotina de operação, sendo que muitas das atividades exercidas não necessitam da água potável. As águas cinza, que são efluentes domésticos sem a contribuição de bacias sanitárias, podem representar alternativa importante a essa demanda não potável, uma vez que representam grande parte do volume do esgoto doméstico, e por outro lado, possuem menores concentrações de diversos poluentes. Esta pesquisa teve o objetivo de avaliar o potencial e a viabilidade para reuso de águas cinza em aeroportos para atender às demandas não potáveis, a partir de estudo realizado no Aeroporto Internacional Tancredo Neves, em Confins, Minas Gerais. Foi realizada a caracterização qualitativa das águas cinza segregadas, e os dados foram analisados com auxílio de estatística descritiva e multivariada. Além disso, procedeu-se o levantamento dos aspectos relacionados à produção desse efluente no aeroporto. Uma unidade de tratamento composta por filtro anaeróbio e dispositivo de desinfecção ultravioleta foi proposta e avaliada. Os resultados mostraram que não existem empecilhos para o reuso de águas cinza em ambiente aeroportuários. O volume produzido desse efluente pode suprir a demanda por água não potável, através de tratamento simplificado e de baixo custo. Portanto, o reuso de águas cinza em aeroportos deve ser fortemente incentivado, podendo propiciar grande economia de recursos financeiros e ambientais.

Nesse sentido, a parcela referente ao consumo de água e energia nas residências é estratégica para a concepção de programas de conservação desses recursos em áreas urbanas, visto que o consumo residencial é responsável por uma grande parcela do consumo urbano, chegando a cerca de 80% em Minas Gerais. Visando avaliar um método de conservação de água, esse trabalho avaliou quantitativamente a economia gerada em uma edificação dotada de um sistema de reúso de águas cinza quando comparada a uma edificação com sistema hidrossanitário convencional. O monitoramento foi realizado de fevereiro a setembro de 2007 no edifício convencional e de fevereiro a setembro de 2008 naquele com sistema reúso de águas cinza, por meio de leituras diárias, sempre às 8h, de todos os hidrômetros e medidores de energia, além do levantamento de perfis de consumo de 24h. O consumo energético das bombas de recalque foi medido por meio eletrônico com a instalação de um analisador de energia. O consumo de água, avaliado através de perfis horários e dos indicadores per capita, por área e por dormitório, foi consistentemente mais elevado no edifício convencional, havendo um maior consumo nos meses de inverno nas duas edificações. Cerca de 32% da água cinza produzida são aproveitados como água de reúso na edificação, sendo que o volume de água de reúso utilizado é cerca de 22% do consumo total na edificação. Em termos energéticos, no edifício convencional o consumo das bombas de recalque foi de cerca de 8% do total de energia consumida. No dotado de reúso o consumo foi de 7% do total de energia consumida, sendo que 3% das bombas de água potável e 4% das bombas de reúso. Os valores altos de consumo energético das bombas sugerem uma maior atenção aos projetos de bombeamento. Foi observado um indicador de 1,40kWh/m³ para o edifício convencional e de 0,88kWh/m³ para o dotado de reúso. A avaliação de perdas realizada por meio da setorização permitiu inferir que há, possivelmente um vazamento de cerca de 1,88m³/dia invisível na edificação dotada de reúso antes do reservatório superior. Foi observado erros de medição nos hidrômetros das colunas de abastecimento para pequenas vazões. Não foram observados vazamentos nos apartamentos. Os resultados demonstram a importância do reúso como forma de conservação de água potável e de redução do esgoto sanitário. / The pursuit of urban sustainability entails the most diverse water and energy conservation praxes. In this context, the rational use of water and energy by residential buildings plays a strategic role in the conception of natural resources conservation programs in urban areas, since the residential usage is responsible for as much as 80% in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Seeking the evaluation of a water conservation method, the present work examined quantitatively the economic gain generated in a residential building outfitted with a gray water reuse system opposed to a building with conventional hydro-sanitary system. Data was collected from February to September of 2007 in the conventional building and from February to September of 2008 in the one equipped with the gray water reuse system. Data collection comprises daily readings, at 8:00 a.m., of the water and electricity consumption, as well as the 24h usage profile. The water pump electrical consumption was measured by an electronic gauge, installed on each pump. Based on the hourly usage profiles, per capita, per area and per bedroom, the water usage was consistently higher in the conventional building and more intense over the winter in both buildings. Approximately 32% of the produced gray water was diverted and reused, representing 22% of the total water consumption in the building. In terms of the electrical usage, the water pumps installed in the conventional residential building represented 8% of the total spent energy, while in the building outfitted with the gray water reuse system, it accounted for 7% of the total, from which 3% were used on the drinking water pumping system and 4% in the gray water system. The high electrical usage by the pumps suggests that the water systems should be more carefully designed. Energy consumption per cubic meter of conveyed water of 1,40kWh/m3 was observed in the conventional building, while in the one equipped with gray water reuse systems, a lower value of 0.88kWh/m3 was observed. The evaluation of water losses carried out by building sections, allowed the identification of a leakage of 1,88m3/day, in the building equipped with the gray water reuse system invisible by other means. Errors in the water flow meter were observed at low flow conditions. No evident leakages were observed inside the residences. The results show the potential of gray water reuse as water conservation and waste water reduction praxes.

Stora mängder energi lämnar bostäder med avloppsvattnet utan något bemödande att återföra det uppvärmda vattnets värmeenergi tillbaka till byggnaden. Med ökade klimatskalsförbättringar av traditionellt slag för att möta de nära-nollenergikrav på nybyggnationer för bostadshus som träder i kraft i slutet av 2020 kan energiförlusterna i byggnader till allt större del allokeras till det avloppsvatten som lämnar byggnaden. Målet med detta arbete är att undersöka huruvida betydande energibesparingar inom området kan erhållas, samt att bedöma de ekonomiska möjligheterna och utsikterna för att tillvarata värmeenergi med hjälp av värmepump ur gråvatten från  flerbostadshus uppkopplade mot fjärrvärmenät. Och i och med det visa vilka faktorer som visar sig utöva påverkan på de driftmässiga besparingsmöjligheterna samt uppvisa hur pass känsligt resultatet är i förhållande till ett urval av dessa faktorer. Arbetet utgörs av och har genomförts i två delar: en litteraturstudie och en beräkningsstudie. Avloppsvatten kan delas in i spillvatten, dagvatten och dräneringsvatten. Spillvatten är avfallsbidraget från hushåll och andra fastigheter till avloppet. Hushållens spillvatten kan i sin tur indelas i gråvatten och svartvatten. Gråvatten är det vatten som kommer från bad, disk och tvätt, vilket av det skälet även kallas BDT-vatten. Svartvatten är det vatten som spolas ut från toaletter, och kallas därför även klosettvatten. Vid separerade flöden infinner sig möjligheten att tillvarata värmeenergi direkt från gråvatten, som också är den varmare, volymmässigt största och mer lätthanterliga fraktionen, både ur vattenrenings- och värmeåtervinningssynpunkt. Studier på källsorterande system visar på flera fördelar i stort med att hålla hushållens avloppsflöde separerade, såsom bland annat utökad resurseffektivitet av kväve och fosfor vid reningsverken. Nedsmutsning av värmeväxlarytor, i synnerhet av biofilm, utgör en utmaning då avloppsvatten ska användas som värmekälla och är något som måste beaktas även vid tillvaratagande av värme ur gråvatten. Resultatet från beräkningsstudien av ett enskilt fall med tappvarmvattenförvärmning, givet en rad antaganden, gav en driftmässig kostnadsbesparing på cirka 31 000 kr per år och ett nuvärde på dessa årliga besparingar sett över 20 år på cirka 355 000 kr. Energibesparingen uppgick till cirka 63 000 kWh per år vilket innebär en minskning av totala behovet av köpt energi för tappvarmvattenproduktion med cirka 67 % vid uppvärmning av tappvarmvatten till 55 °C. Känslighetsanalysen visar att avgörande parametrar i beräkningsstudien såsom el- och fjärrvärmepris, värmepumpens livslängd och kalkylräntan medför relativt stora förändringar av resultatet om de tillåts att variera. Det är uppenbart att det finns stora mängder energi att återvinna, det är också uppenbart att svårigheter gör att gråvatten som värmekälla inte kan behandlas lättvindigt då bland annat den långsiktiga utvecklingen av vattenanvändningen och hög föroreningsgrad är faktorer som måste beaktas i tillägg till de faktorer som tas upp i känslighetsanalysen. Dubbla system med fjärrvärme och värmepump innebär en högre investering men är samtidigt något som kan ses som ett verktyg för att utnyttja de ökande energiprisvariationer som en allt större andel förnybar icke-reglerbar elproduktion sannolikt innebär genom att helt enkelt kunna variera uppvärmningssätt efter varierande energipriser och finna optimal andelsfördelning. För en fastighetsägare blir det i takt med en sådan utveckling alltmer gynnsamt att kunna välja det som för tiden är det billigaste alternativet. / Large amounts of energy leave homes with wastewater without any effort to return the heated water's thermal energy back to the building. With increased thermal envelope improvements of a traditional nature to meet the nearly zero-energy requirements for residential buildings that will come into effect by the end of 2020, energy losses in buildings can increasingly be allocated to the wastewater leaving the building. The aim of this work is to investigate whether significant energy savings in the mentioned area can be obtained, as well as to assess the economic opportunities and prospects for utilizing heat energy from grey water from multi-residential buildings connected to district heating networks with the help of a heat pump. And by that show which factors are shown to influence the operational savings and how sensitive the results are in relation to a selection of these factors. The work consists of and has been carried out in two parts: a literature study and a calculation study. Household wastewater can be divided into grey and black water. Grey water is the water that comes from bath, dishes and laundry and black water is the water that is flushed out of the toilets. Separated flows reveal the possibility of utilizing thermal energy directly from grey water, which is also the warmer, volume largest and more manageable fraction, both from a water purification and heat recovery standpoint. Studies on source separated systems show a wide range of benefits, largely by keeping household wastewater separated, such as increased resource efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus at the wastewater treatment plants. The contamination of heat exchanger surfaces, especially biofilm, poses a challenge when wastewater is used as a heat source and is something that has to be taken into account even when using grey water as a heat source. The result of the calculations of an individual case with preheating of domestic hot water, given a series of assumptions, resulted in operational cost savings of approximately SEK 31,000 per year and a present value of these annual savings over 20 years of approximately SEK 355,000. Energy savings amounted to approximately 63,000 kWh per year, which means a reduction of the total need for purchased energy for domestic hot water production by 67 % with an assumption of a final domestic hot water temperature of 55 °C. The sensitivity analysis shows that crucial parameters in the calculation study such as electrical and district heating price, heat pump life and discount rate entail relatively large changes in profit if allowed to vary. It is obvious that there are large amounts of energy to potentially recycle. It is also obvious that difficulties cause grey water as a source of heat not be treated easily because, among other things, the long-term development of household water use and high pollution rates are factors that must be considered in addition to the factors brought up in the sensitivity analysis. District heating and heat pump combined imply a higher investment than a single heating system, but at the same time is something that can be seen as a tool for utilizing the assumed increasing energy price variations that an increasing proportion of intermittent renewable power generation implies simply by varying heating configuration with changes in energy prices and finding the optimal share. For a property owner, it would at this point be favorable to be able to choose what the cheapest option is currently.

Dessa forma, o desenvolvimento de medidas e ações que possibilitem a conservação e a redução do consumo de água potável, vem se tornando prioridades para algumas instituições. Este estudo visa o desenvolvimento e avaliação de uma tecnologia simplificada de tratamento e operação, para o aproveitamento da água de lavagem de roupa como fonte alternativa de abastecimento, para as descargas de vasos sanitários nas residências. Assim foi necessário caracterizar as águas cinzas provenientes da máquina de lavar roupas, nos seus aspectos físicos, químicos e microbiológicos. O sistema de tratamento experimental foi operado e monitorado pelo período de 12 meses, em uma residência com cinco moradores. O sistema de tratamento da Estação Experimental era composto por um decantador, seguido de um filtro de areia aeróbio de fluxo descendente e desinfecção com hipoclorito de sódio a 2% (água sanitária). Além de avaliar a eficiência da estação experimental de acordo com os parâmetros físicos, químicos e microbiológicos das normas e recomendações vigentes, foram monitorados os consumos de água potável das residências, com objetivo de verificar se havia redução no consumo aferido pela concessionária de saneamento, após a implantação do sistema de tratamento. O sistema de tratamento adotado apresentou uma elevada eficiência na remoção média de turbidez, cor, nitrato, coliformes totais, Escherichia coli, na ordem de 93,52, 94,18, 86,27, 100 e 100%, respectivamente. Em relação a DBO5, DQO e SST, o sistema apresentou uma eficiência média na ordem de 58,04, 55,72 e 60,29% de remoção. O efluente do sistema de tratamento possui características compatíveis com diversos parâmetros estabelecidos para o reúso não potável. / The growth in the consumption of potable water has reflected directly in the increase of pollution and quantitative and qualitative degradation of the water bodies, receptors of releases of untreated wastewater. Thus, the development of measures and programs that will enable conservation and reduction of potable water consumption is becoming a priority for some institutions. This study aims to develop and evaluate a simplified treatment and operation technology to take advantage of laundry water as an alternative source of supply for toilet flushing in homes. Thus it was necessary to characterize the physical, chemical and microbiological aspects of the gray water coming from the washing machines. The experimental treatment system was operated and monitored for a period of 12 months, in a house with five people. The Experimental Station was composed of a decanter, followed by an aerobic sand filter and disinfection with a filter with sodium hypochlorite at 2% (bleach). Besides evaluating the efficiency of the experimental station in accordance with the physical, chemical and microbiological standards of the existing guidelines and recommendations, the consumption of potable water of the households were monitored, in order to verify if there was a reduction in the consumption measured by the sanitation utilities, after the implementation of the treatment system. The treatment system adopted showed a high efficiency in the average removal of turbidity, color, nitrate, total coliforms and Escherichia coli, of 93.52, 94.18, 86.27, 100 and 100%, respectively. In relation to BOD5, (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) and TSS (Total Suspended Solids), the system presented an average removal efficiency of 58.04, 55.72 and 60.29%. The effluent of the treatment system has characteristics which are compatible with several parameters established for the non potable reuse.

Studies are directed in order to raise awareness of the rational use of this natural asset that is essential to our survival. Only 0.007% of the water available in the world have easy access and can be consumed by humans, it can be found in rivers, lakes, etc... To better take advantage of the water used in homes and small businesses, reuse projects are often implemented, resulting in savings for customers of water utilities. The reuse projects involve several areas of engineering, like Environmental, Chemical, Electrical and Computer Engineering. The last two are responsible for the control of the process, which aims to make gray water (soapy water), and clear blue water (rain water), ideal for consumption, or for use in watering gardens, flushing, among others applications. Water has several features that should be taken into consideration when it comes to working its reuse. Some of the features are, turbidity, temperature, electrical conductivity and, pH. In this document there is a proposal to control the pH (potential Hydrogen) through a microcontroller, using the fuzzy logic as strategy of control.
