Innovation for New Anaerobic Domestic Wastewater Treatment Recycling System in Developing Countries

Abstract

Over the years, the spate of water pollution has assumed an alarming dimension globally because of rapid urbanization, aggressive economic development and geometric population growth. This has given rise to acute shortage of freshwater resources. The need for appropriate and efficient treatment technologies to achieve effluent quality that complies with acceptable standard has become imperative. Conventional wastewater treatment technologies are not only costly to build, but also have combined functional and maintenance problem. As a result, forward-looking innovative technologies which are cost effective such as Domestic Multi-Recycler (DMR) is desperately needed to restore poor water pollution that poses serious health threat to most people in developing countries and to improve the soundness of water and wastewater recycling system. Also enhance the quality of treated water discharged from the source to the municipal in a wastewater treatment method anaerobically without requiring electricity and the sludge generated is utilize as fertilizer. Since functional wastewater collection and treatment are of vital importance from the perspective of both environmental and public health. In this paper, the technology application is aimed at contributing immensely to attain goal 6 of sustainable development goals (SDGs). “Ensuring availability and sustainable management of clean water and sanitation for all.”
