Project Introduction Sturdy BioFeeder

Filtered Greywater goes through an added phase Student Name: Ciaran Kinsella (C00281268)
of biological filtration after previous filtration
methods to get added benefits for agricultural
usage, such as drip line irrigation and gardening Algae
Fungi
Research Findings Microorganisms

Roughly 75% of Greywater accounts for
greywater is used up to 50-80% of
for outdoor irrigation household wastewater

Greywater contains significant levels of
nitrogen and phosphorus that can act
as natural fertilisers for crops

Domestic Water Charges were put
into place in Ireland from 2015-2017

Commercial Viability Bag Filters

Increasing Interest in Sustainable Practices
Greywater Flow
Less Fertiliser Reliance and Costs Greywater flows into the first tank
(mesh & biofilter)
Saves ~€500 a Year Without Water Charges Water moves into the Water moves into the 1. Mesh
next tank (sand/gravel filter) final tank (charcoal filter)
Desirability in the Product’s Simplicity 2. Sand/Gravel
3. Charcoal
