Water Resilient Smart Cities
Decentralised Urban Waste Water Treatment Systems involve vacuum toilets and kitchen grinders for organic waste, as well as separate grey water and black water waste streams, allowing for high quality nutrients recovery, heat recovery and biogas production, as well as production of high quality water (“drinking water quality”) for local reuse in industry, parks or other usage. Citizen engagement is a vital element within these groundbreaking projects.
ANCHOR project partner Hamse Kjerstadius, NSVA (Helsingborg, Sweden) will be presenting Recolab and ANCHOR project. Recolab is IWA Wastewater Project of the Year 2022. Source separated sanitation applying vacuum toilets and kitchen grinders for organic waste become corner stones for sustainable urban districts. The high-quality effluent reduces pressures on precious drinking water sources.
