Real greywater from student flats is diverted to the testing facility. The facility can be used for the testing of a range of technologies at pilot scale for the treatment of greywater.
The technologies tested to date include:
- constructed wetlands (horizontal and vertical flow reed beds, cascading reed bed and green roof),
- membrane bioreactor,
- membrane photocatalytic reactor,
- membranes,
- biological aerated filter.
The greywater was also used for lab trials for disinfection technologies as well as other treatment technologies such as adsorption coagulation and photo-catalysis.
