Within 10-20 years new investments

Alternatives??

Pressure pipelines can/must be improved (energy consumption, comfort)

Maintenance IBA’s and pressure pipelines not well

Costs (IBA’s and pipelines) 10 municipalities Achterhoek € 3 million per year

Objective: public health

Contaminants of emerging concern (CeC’s)

40 m criterium

VERY NEW DECENTRAL SANITATION

WE CHALLENGE THE MARKET TO COME WITH:

New systems complying with:

High treatment efficiencies

Low energy consumption

Easy maintenance

Stable

Reuse water in house

Circular economy, etc. …..

•PROBLEMS

•Resource scarcity

- Nutrients

- Fresh water availability

- Waste overshoot

•Climate change

- Extreme rain events

- Extreme droughts

•Individualization

- Increased loneliness

- Declining social control and interaction

•CENTRALISED SYSTEM

•Resource scarcity

- Loss of valuable substances (P, N. etc.)

- Pump and discharge to ocean system

- Circular economy = burning everything…

•Climate change

- Sewage system to small

- Drinking water peak demand

- Ageing infrastructure

•Individualization

- No face to face contact (unburden)

- Systems are out of sight and do not stimulate interaction and awareness

•BLACK WATER

•UASB-reactor

- Biogas to heat the reactor

- 2 m3/day

- Producing fertilizer

- Testing nearby

•GREY WATER

•Helophyte filter

- Biological purification

- 20 m3/day

- Research for reuse as (1) wash water, (2) drinking water and (3) infiltration.

•RESOURCE SCARCITY

•Source separation

- Dual pipe system

- Vacuum system

•In house

- Vacuum toilet

- Food grinder

•RAINWATER (HARVESTING)

•Buffers

- 250 m3

•Water Square

- Filled during extreme events

•Infiltration ponds

- No water leaves the area during a rain event

•DRINKING WATER

•Decentralised treatment plant

- Rainwater as main source

- Reducing drink water peak with smart buffering

- Water saving technologies

•CLIMATE ADAPTATION

•Rainwater harvesting

•Water demand reduction

•Peak reduction

•Being lonely effects the length of our life expectancy similar to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

•A story about a village where all the women washed clothes together down by the river. When they all got washing machines, there was a sudden outbreak of depression and no one could figure out why. It wasn’t the washing machines or themselves. It was the absence of community. Friends, we’ve gotten so independent.

•We’re “fine” we tell ourselves even when in reality we’re depressed, we’re overwhelmed, we’re lonely, and we’re hurting. “We’re fine, we’re just too busy right now” we say when days, weeks, months, and years go by without connecting with friends. I’m fine, I’m fine, I’m fine. It’s so easy to say even when it’s not true.

•We’ve become so isolated and it’s hard to know how to get back. It’s so hard to know how to even begin to build the kind of relationships our hearts need. And I think in our current culture, it’s just not as organic as it once was. It’s more work now.

•Because you know, we have our own washing machines. We don’t depend on each other to do laundry, or cook dinner, or raise babies anymore. We don’t really depend on each other for much of anything if we’re being honest.

• Sustainable and innovative (C2C) Sanitation

• Track record with New Sanitation projects

• Close cooperation with knowledge institutes (Wetsus, WUR, UGENT)

• Partner in multiple innovation projects (national, EU)

• DeSaH B.V.

➢Closing loops

➢ Energy loop

• Our approach

•Easier in a local (decentralised) level

•Black water

•Rain water

•Kitchen waste

•Grey water

Wastewater separation

Vacuum toilets flush with 1-1.5L of water and 100L of air (Conventional toilets -> 5-7 L).

Stream Characteristics

•Where?

• Buildings (e.g. hotels, resorts, offices andrecreational facilities) and housing estates

• Rural areas and remote locations (e.g. drillingsites, mining sites and army bases)

• Newly build districts and districts convertedfrom low to high rise buildings(sewage/WWTP can’t handle the hydraulicload)

Decentralized vs Centralized

Compared with a centralized WWTP (100.000 p.e.) the DeSaH concept:

• Similar OPEX (incl. depreciation) at a scale of 3000 p.e.

• 2x higher energy production than an energy optimized plant, equal to 25% of total household heating demands

• Recovers 2.5x higher P than the current state of the art

• Produces 2x times less surplus sludge

• Footprint is ~0.2% of the total footprint of the connected houses
