3 In contrast, our industrial system functions primarily in a linear fashion: Take Make Waste Take natural capital, structured valuable material, and process it into unusable waste Only 6% of material flow ends up in products

8 Modern Sewage Services Since 1917 The sewage services started with trickling filter and activated sludge methods started in 1917 and developed in different phases through 1930s, 1960s, and finally completed in 1985.

12 The route Five Incineration Plants Since 1979

13 Issues of Current Waste Management The centralized waste management approach is expensive in terms of consumption of water, energy, and infrastructure investment Liquid: activated sludge process (water flushing + aeration + nitrification and de-nitrification + sludge dewatering + ) Solid: collection and transportation (energy consuming) + emissions from incineration and landfilling (land contamination) Subsequent residues disposal (sludge, incineration ash, etc)

14 Sludge chair by Gunnar Aagaard Andersen

15 The DUR 2 Concepts Separation of material streams Separate collection of brown, yellow, and grey water Recovery and reuse of nutrients, purified water, and useful residues (e.g., compost) Minimisation of waste through all those Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle, recover, rethink, repair, restore, remediate, and many other Rs) Conversion of recoverd materials to useful resources Biogas to energy Residues to compost or fertizer Others

16 Utilization of A DUR 2 System Cities or towns short of water supply Cities or towns with limted budget for infrastructure Suburbs or new extenstion areas of big cities New decentralized living and working quarters like Resorts or hotel complexes Military camps, student hostols, training centres Living quarters for Industrial estates Green ecocity development

17 Communities as Renewable Resource Recovery Centers (CRP/NRF)

18 A Decentralised Urban Resource Recovery System

19 Advantages Reduction of water consumption Reduction of wastewater treatment cost Recovery of nutrient/fertilizers Recovery of energy (biogas and electricity) Reduction of energy consumption (waste collection and transportation) Reduction of infrastructure investment cost

37 Summary The DUR2 system is an option to urban sustainable waste management [opportunity] Decentralized urban waste management Separation of different waters (brown, yellow, grey ) and waste Nutrient recovery and odor control Co-digestion of brown water and food waste Co-digestion and co-composting of community waste AD effluent polishing for waste to energy (MEC, fuel cell) Do those Rs around the bin centre of the HDBs Converting communities into resource recovery centers
