Possible Reuses

All our systems, regardless of the type of water they treat (grey or black), generate recycled water of the same quality, which can be used for a variety of applications, ensuring maximum savings while remaining very economical to buy and operate.

Recycling wastewater into drinking water is not economically viable at small and medium scale, but our systems are engineered to provide the most usable quality of water according to national and international standards and regulations – including EU Guidelines for Bathing Water, World Health Organization recommendations, DIN 19650:1999 regulations for irrigation and Abu Dhabi Wastewater Residuals Reuse Regulations Proposal.

Irrigation is the primary use for recycled water in hot areas. Our systems' recycled water can be used without restrictions for underground, drip or spray irrigation as well as for water fountains and similar features.

The water is suitable for irrigation of all agricultural areas, parks, public open spaces, sports facilities and golf courses. Persons having body contact with this water and moreover, those who even occasionally swallow some of it will not be subjected to health risk.

The recycled water can also be largely used for cleaning – cars, workshops, paved areas, building floors… Dust suppression is also possible.

Persons having body contact with the recycled water will not be subject to health risk.

At the end of the recycling process, the water is clear and chlorine is added to keep it this way, so it can be used for toilet flushing if the necessary plumbing can be installed.

The water will not smell or leave stains.




Studies have shown that from a hygienic/ microbiological aspect, there is no difference between clothes washed with treated greywater and those washed with drinking water.

Some legislations such as Abu Dhabi's nevertheless do not explicitely mention this possible reuse. Contact us for advice on your local legislation.

Facts about Water

...about 65% of indoor home water use occurs in bathrooms. Toilets are the single greatest water user. Only about 10% of our home water supply is used in the kitchen and as drinking water.

...UNESCO has predicted that by 2020, water shortage will be a serious worldwide problem.

...around 80% of the earth's surface is covered in water. 97% of this is salt water, 2% is made up of glaciers. That leaves less than
1% as fresh water.

Advantages of Recycling

...reduces the stress on the environment.

...saves money, as there is less consumption
from usual water sources (in hot countries water
is often transported by trucks) and there is also
less water to dispose of (again high costs if
sewage is transported by truck)

...can enable extension of facilities without
requiring upgrade of water supply and sewage
systems (no more overflowing of sewage systems)
