Sewage Treatment for Temporary Accomodation

Sewage Treatment for Temporary Accomodation

Sewage Treatment for Temporary Accomodation

(OP)
Dear Forum Members,

A temporary Worker's Accommodation is being provided in the Middle East desert environment , housing initially 500 workers to a peak of 1200 during a 3 year period.

Waste water from toilets (black water), grey water (showers, washing machines, etc) and kitchen waste water are to be treated.

Can you share your experience to treat this? The main point is the treatment is for a temporary accommodation, not permanent.

Thank you.

RE: Sewage Treatment for Temporary Accomodation

If the space is available, a sewage lagoon is cost effective.

The space is indeed available.
Also considering:
1) Providing sewage storage tanks on the site that are regularly pumped out and carted away by truck tankers. Not possible to use septic tanks and soakaways due to the ground conditions.
2) Provide a temporary package type sewage treatment plant with the treated effluent being used for truck washing
3) Build the facility's permanent wastewater treatment plant quickly to accept the flows from the Temporary Workers Accommodation Compound. Only thing is... can it be on time smile

RE: Sewage Treatment for Temporary Accomodation

Anything is possible, it just takes money.

A modern steel package plant available from many suppliers should easily handle your domestic requirements. Add a filter to the effluent from the package plan, disinfection, and water storage tanks and pumps and you can recycle gray water.
