Description
A novel technology is proposed to remove 85% of BOD and TSS in the gray and black water from Army base camps, to a BOD demand of<30 mg/l and TSS of<30 mg/l. This technology utilizes the electrochemically generated species to chemically remove the BOD contributing species. Novel anode compositions and anode structures will constitute the cell, which is modular, and easy to deploy and commission. Optimization tests with gray water and black water from the city waste water treatment plant, coupled with on-site testing, using a cell handling 10-20 l/h, will provide the proof-of-concept for the proposed technology, and the basis for a conceptual design for a skid mounted, 100 gal//h, system suitable for testing and use by Army personnel.
