Water reuse

Water Reuse System

A Water Reuse System is a structure or set of equipment that is designed to capture and treat water from non-potable sources such as wastewater so that it can be used again for non-potable purposes such as watering gardens, cleaning buildings or discharge into sewers.

EP is a water treatment company that plays a fundamental role in the preservation of the environment and in the search for solutions for the management of your business. It has been working for 50 years with a lot of dedication and multiplying results.

Collection and transportation

Water is collected from a source, such as wastewater or sewage, and transported to the treatment plant.

Physical treatment

The water is subjected to physical processes such as filtration, flocculation or decantation to remove suspended matter and particles.

Chemical treatment

The water is subjected to chemical processes, such as treatment with chlorine or other disinfectants, to kill microorganisms and remove unwanted substances.

Biological treatment

The water is subjected to biological processes, such as treatment with stabilization ponds or sludge strings, to remove nutrients and other organic pollutants.

Disinfection

The water undergoes final disinfection, such as treatment with chlorine, ozone or UV rays, to kill any remaining microorganisms.

Storage

The treated water is stored in reservoirs to be used again for specific purposes.

Monitoring and maintenance

The water reuse system is monitored regularly to ensure that it is working properly and that the treated water is within the established quality limits.

Benefits

Conservation of water resources

Reusing water can help reduce the need to use drinking water for non-potable purposes, which can conserve available water resources.

cost reduction

Reusing water can be more economical than using drinking water, especially in areas where water is scarce or expensive.

Improvement of the quality of the environment

Water reuse can help reduce pollution of rivers and lakes, as treated water is less polluting than raw water.

Reduction in demand for water

Water reuse can help reduce the demand for drinking water, which can be important in areas with water scarcity or population growth.

Greater water security

Water reuse can increase water security, as it can provide an alternative source of water in the event of an interruption or shortage of drinking water.

Reduction of carbon emissions

Water reuse can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as it is generally more energy efficient than drinking water treatment.

Applications

Water reuse systems can be used in a variety of applications, including:

Agriculture: Treated water can be used to irrigate crops, which can help save drinking water and increase agricultural production.
Landscaping: Treated water can be used to irrigate gardens, parks and lawns, which can help save potable water and maintain green areas.
Industry: Treated water can be used for industrial purposes such as cooling, washing equipment and production processes.
Cleaning: Treated water can be used for cleaning buildings and equipment, which can help save potable water and reduce the need to use chemicals.
Sewers: Treated water can be used for discharge into sewers, which can help reduce pollution of rivers and lakes and increase the efficiency of the sewer system.
Bathing and flushing: Treated water can be used for bathing and flushing in toilets, which can help save potable water and reduce the need for sewerage.
Aquaculture: Treated water can be used for fish and shellfish farming, which can help reduce environmental pollution and increase fish production.
