Greywater Treatment Systems

The escalating global water crisis necessitates the efficient and reusable use of water. In this context, greywater treatment systems are increasingly preferred for both environmental sustainability and economic benefit. Yeditepe Treatment & Equipment offers modern, efficient, and compact greywater treatment solutions for residential and commercial applications.

What is Greywater?

Greywater is wastewater from showers, washbasins, bathtubs, and washing machines. It typically contains detergent, soap, hair, skin cells, and small amounts of organic matter. It should not be confused with blackwater, which comes from toilets and contains more hazardous contaminants. Greywater has relatively low pollution levels and is highly suitable for reuse after treatment.

What is a Greywater Treatment System?

A greywater treatment system collects water from bathrooms, showers, sinks, or washing machines and treats it through various processes. The treated greywater can be reused for toilet flushing, garden irrigation, vehicle washing, or industrial cleaning applications. These systems significantly reduce overall water consumption.

Yeditepe Treatment designs customized greywater treatment systems for housing complexes, residential projects, hotels, shopping malls, and industrial facilities of various sizes.

How Does Greywater Treatment Work?

The greywater treatment process generally involves the following steps:

1. Pre-Filtration

Initial removal of coarse particles such as hair, lint, and soap residue. This step protects the downstream components of the system.

2. Biological Treatment

Organic matter in the water is biologically degraded in a treatment tank using processes such as activated sludge or biofilm technology.

3. Sand and Activated Carbon Filtration

Fine particles and odor-causing substances are removed. The water becomes clear, odor-free, and aesthetically acceptable.

4. Disinfection

Final disinfection is performed using UV or chlorination to eliminate pathogens, making the water safe for reuse.

Why Use a Greywater Treatment System?

• Water Savings: Treated greywater reused in toilet flushing or irrigation can save up to 30% of water consumption.
• Cost-Effective: Especially beneficial for large facilities and residential complexes through reduced water bills.
• Eco-Friendly: Helps prevent depletion of underground water resources and reduces environmental impact through water reuse.
• Supports Green Building Certifications: Contributes positively to LEED, BREEAM, and similar environmental certification programs.
