2.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE GREYWATER TREATMENT PLANT INSTALLED IN THE<br />
GIZ’S MAIN BUILDING IN ESCHBORN/GERMANY – MEMBRANE BIOREACTOR<br />
(MBR) TECHNOLOGY (REFERENCE PROJECT)<br />
2.2.1 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION<br />
During the renovation (from 2004 till 2006) of the main building at the headquarters of the<br />
Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH located in<br />
Eschborn/Germany a <strong>system</strong> <strong>for</strong> the separate collection of urine and brownwater was<br />
installed. This <strong>system</strong> consists of urine-diversion flush toilets, waterless urinals, separate<br />
piping <strong>system</strong>s <strong>for</strong> urine, brownwater and <strong>greywater</strong> and tanks <strong>for</strong> urine storage. The whole<br />
research project is called SANIRESCH (SANItär Recycling ESCHborn) (Winker M. , 2011b)<br />
and is financed by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) from July 2009<br />
till June 2012. The further project partners are the University of Applied Sciences<br />
Mittelhessen (THM), HUBER SE, Roediger Vacuum, RWTH Aachen and the University of<br />
Bonn (GIZ, 2011). A general flow chart of the whole project with its <strong>treatment</strong> of split<br />
wastewater streams is presented in Figure 6. One part of this project is <strong>greywater</strong> <strong>treatment</strong><br />
via membrane bioreactor to recycle water.<br />

In the middle part of the main building a separating tube <strong>system</strong> <strong>for</strong> partial wastewater<br />
flows as <strong>greywater</strong> was installed. As shown in Figure 7 the side wings of the structure are<br />
provided with conventional sanitary facilities. This means in one-third of the building the<br />
separate collection <strong>system</strong> is installed.<br />
