  • Page 4: Introduction

    According to the official NSF Listing, AQUALOOP for greater capacities can be designed for system sizes dimensioned and approved by INTEWA GmbH in accordance with the NSF certification. These designs must follow the dimensioning guidelines given in the Annex.
  • Page 5 Depending on the cleaning interval a single membrane cartridge can produce up to 900 L/day (238 GPD). A fully equipped station can therefore produce up to 5,400 L/day (1428 GPD) with associated tank, aeration, and growth media dimensioning. Such dimensioned systems are equipped with automatic cleaning. These systems, dimensioned for a higher daily throughput, are described in the Annex.
  • Page 6: Functional Description

    2.1 Functional Description Fig.: Example installation layout of AQUALOOP Greywater Recycling System The greywater (1) from the bathroom (bath tub, shower, basins) and washing machine outlets is first filtered by the pre-filter (2) and then enters the bioreactor (3). In case the bioreactor is full of water, the greywater overflows into the sewer (11) via the filter overflow.
  • Page 7: Influent Quality

    2.2 Influent quality The AQUALOOP System Greywater Recycling is designed for greywater treatment. Greywater as certified for this listing is combined bath, laundry, and bathroom sink water. Toilet, dishwasher, and kitchen effluent are excluded from this listing due to high contaminant load in the form of BOD and TSS and must not be connected to the AQUALOOP system.
