Introduction
Consistent with OSE's integrated design approach, we are developing an integrated house and Greenhouse where a separating toilet reclaimed urine to produce duckweed andazola. This duckweed in a Solo may be fed to fish in an aquaponics system thereby combining wastewater treatment and food production.
To this end it is important to produce and document design calculations which correlate average human waste production with a required duckweed and azolla system size.
Calculations
Nitrogen-Based First Principle Calculations
- Percentage of protein (nitrogen) in azolla -
- Growth rate of duckweed per square meter of surface area -
- Growth rate of azolla for the same -
- Average grams ammonia produced per person per day -
- Square meters of azolla required to treat an average person's nitrogen loading
- Doluckweed area required for the same -
