Development of a field testing standard for residential greywater recovery systems

住宅灰水回收系统是节约用水的有效手段。 该行业合作伙伴开发了一种革命性的住宅灰水回收系统，目前处于原型阶段。 该系统旨在解决竞争系统通常存在的市场障碍，例如可靠性差，维护要求高以及繁重，必要的用户交互。存在灰水回收系统定量性能的现场测试程序的最低协议。该公司需要可靠的标准方法进行现场测试，以提供现场性能的定量数据，包括节水，系统运行和用户满意度。 拟议的研究将开发一个严格的，可重复的现场测试方法，用于评估原型系统将安装在大约30个家庭在南部安大略。

Residential greywater recovery systems represent an effective means to conserve water usage. The industry partner has developed a revolutionary residential greywater recycling system currently in the proto-type stage. This system aims to solve market-wide barriers typically found with competing systems such as poor reliability, high maintenance requirements and heavy, necessary, user interaction. Minimal protocol exists for field-testing procedures for quantitative performance of greywater recycling systems. The company requires a reliable standard method for field-testing to provide quantitative data on field-performance, including water savings, system operation and user satisfaction. The proposed research will develop a rigorous, repeatable field-testing method to be used to evaluate the prototype system to be installed in approximately 30 homes across southern Ontario.
