7. Assumption

   Number of persons in house                                                   5

   Water Supply liter per person per day                                    150

   Sewage generated                                                                   80%

   Total sewage generated per day, l                                          600

   Sewage will be first treated in anaerobic Bioreactor and then overflow goes to ZENT (Zero Energy Natural Treatment. Treated) water can be used for WC flush and irrigation. Around 480 l of treated sewage will be available per day. Total area required will be 3 sq m. For details please contact Prof. Rajendrakumar V Saraf. rvsevipl@gmail.com
