The Suitability of Recycled Domestic Wastewater in Plain Concrete Production. by Orishaba, James

“…The project involved concrete of classes M10, M15, M20, mixing water was fresh water (FW)/portable water for control experiment, and then replaced FW with domestic wastewater that is preliminary wastewater (PWW), primary treated wastewater (PTWW) and secondary treated wastewater (STWW) for test experiments. Results indicated that the slumps for M10 concrete were between 38 and 42mm concrete mixed with fresh water having the same slump with that mixed with secondary treated wastewater, for M15 concrete were between 33.7 and 46, concrete mixed with fresh water having 4mm slump that that mixed with secondary treated wastewater, and for M20 concrete were 40.3 and 44, concrete mixed with fresh water having 0.7mm slump less than that mixed with secondary treated wastewater The compressive strength of concrete mixed with secondary treated wastewater was in close proximity with that produced with fresh water mixed concrete, that mixed and cured by fresh/portable water being slightly higher than that mixed and cured by treated wastewater but the difference was very small. …”
