DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF GREYWATER TREATMENT USING MULTILAYER BIOFILTRATION
This study presents the design and evaluation of a greywater treatment system using a multilayer biofiltration column. The filter media include coarse aggregate, fine sand, activated carbon, and neem bark to enhance physical filtration and microbial activity. Key water quality parameters such as pH, turbidity, TDS, BOD, and COD were analyzed before and after treatment. The results show significant improvement in water quality, demonstrating that the system is effective, economical, and suitable for non‑potable reuse applications.
