Evaluating stormwater treatment for non-potable purpose using SiC membranes in Sweden

Hey, T LU orcid and Lipnizki, F LU orcid (2024) Nordic Filtration Symposium 2024
Abstract
This study explores the potential for stormwater reuse to reduce potable water consumption for toilet flushing and laundry. A pilot project utilizing silicon carbide (SiC) membranes in Lund achieved significant reductions in contaminants, with permeate meeting EU standards for non-potable applications.
A permanent (SiC) membrane installation in Malmö demonstrated a 38% reduction in potable water use, saving 250,000 liters for toilet flushing and laundry. Ongoing analysis of 57 water parameters supports the concept as a sustainable method to reduce water consumption by over 30% in urban conditions.
