Greywater Treatment Systems Design for Domestic Application in Malaysia

Greywater is considered more than 40% whole domestic wastewater. Therefore, it is vital to control the discharge of greywater into the river. the application of filter media in the greywater treatment system is appropriate methods in reducing pollutants. This proposes the design of a greywater treatment system to treat laundry wastewater in Malaysia. The proposed method implements the idea of combining five media filter materials in a compact cylinder filter. The outcome prove that the proposed system is effective in improving the quality of greywater in which the parameters (Aluminium, Phosphorus, Fluoride, Iron, Hardness and Chloride) concentration does not exceed the treated water (tap water) quality standard. Furthermore, the proposed greywater design system is relatively suitable to be further developed for commercial use in the future.
