Introduction
See Inga's House/DesignSpecifications for general design.
Biofilter
- Handles blackwater from Inga's house
- One possible solution is a closed-loop water system featuring the biofilter, where water is pumped back for flushing
- We may use natural rainwater runoff to fill the biofilter system initially
- System should be designed first according to OSE Specifications
- It should be modular, so that other houses can alse feed into it/from it
- It should generate flushing water, and possibly have a final filtering option for getting potable water/shower water
- It should be low cost
- It should be low maintenance
- It should have low energy input requirement (pumping)
- It should be ecological and regenerative, such as creating habitat, possibly human use
- It should be consistent with Inga's House Site Analysis
