Appropriate wastewater treatment for communities, small and medium enterprises dewats project aims to support communities & SME in planning, designing, and constructing of effective, efficient, and cost-efficient appropriate wastewater systems based on a modular, partly standardized technical design. dewats technology applications provide state-of-the-art technology at affordable prices because most of materials/input used for construction are locally available. The advantages of dewats technology: Providing treatment for both, domestic and industrial wastewater. Providing treatment for wastewater flows from 1-1000 m3 per day Reliable and long lasting applications, tolerant towards inflow fluctuation Do not require sophisticated maintenance Low maintenance cost Wastewater pollution reduced by up to 90 % Ground water is not polluted Biogas production Long desludging intervals

Due to these advantages, dewats technology is an effective, efficient and affordable solution for community wastewater treatment.

Implementation
dewats implemented in four steps:

Demand
Common wastewater problems within communities and small & medium enterprises

Seminar and workshop Potential clients are encouraged and informed about the importance of wastewater treatment & dewats technology.

Communities, Small and Medium Enterprises are often not able to meet high investment and maintenance cost required for sophisticated wastewater treatment system.

Feasibility study On-site surveys by dewats experts: Collection of first hand information about all important aspects related to wastewater treatment, which then be transformed into project proposal.

Maintenance of sophisticated wastewater treatment system are found to be difficult due to low human resources.

Wastewater treated does not meet wastewater discharge standard regulation.

Construction and supervising Construction is the most important part in dewats technology. Wastewater discharged is treated appropriately in this section. Low maintenance and operation of wastewater treatment system are required to avoid problems during operation.

Monitoring dewats project is responsible for monitoring and maintaining the wastewater treatment system for a generate period of 12 months. A combination between wastewater treatment system and landscape is required to achieve environmental friendly communities, small and medium enterprises

dewats Technology
Biogas digester

Principles

Construction
Wastewater discharged is treated to meet wastewater discharge standard
Sedimentation biodigester

A combination of low-maintenance based technology

Half-ball-shaped fixed dome plant Suitable for rather thick and homogenous substrate like sludge from aerobic treatment tanks, liquid animal excreta and excrements

Optionally constructed and integrated with Baffle Reactor Brick construction, fully waterproof, and airtight plastering Biogas produced as renewable energy source Functioned as settler for Black Water

Basic septic tank

Basically principled on sedimentation tank in which settled sludge is stabilized by anaerobic digestion Mechanical treatment by sedimentation Biological treatment by contact between fresh water and active sludge compete with each other in the septic tank

Baffle reactor and anaerobic filter Anaerobic degradation of suspended and dissolved solid based on up-flow principle Simple, durable, easy to maintain Underground construction, little permanent space required Effective, efficient, and low cost maintenance BOD reduction up to 90% Horizontal sand filter Aerobic-facultative-anaerobic degradation of dissolved and fine suspended solids Pathogen removal No wastewater above ground No nuisance odor High treatment efficiency

Baffled up-flow reactor

Treatment by forcing incoming wastewater to pass through active bacteria sludge in each compartment. The settler in front prevents larger solids to enter the baffle section

Anaerobic filter reactor

Treatment of non-settleable and dissolved solids by bringing them in close contact with a surplus of active bacterial mass

Aerobic ponds

Horizontal sand filter

Aerobic degradation Provides continuous oxygen supply to the upper layers Treatment by permanently soaked sand or gravel filter with water and operates partly aerobic, partly anoxic, and partly anaerobic High pathogen removal rate Simply constructed Naturally & environmentally reliable in performance Provide possibilities for pleasant landscaping
