A brief description of the source of non-potable water and how it is used:
The University of Ottawa employs a black water re-use system to provide feed water to the cooling towers. The black water is sourced from the concentrate of the science pre-synced water purification plant and the over-flow from the aquatic care fish holding facility.(on main campus) Aquatic care black water diverted to cooling tower make up and enriched reverse osmosis concentrate that used to go to sewer (filtered) : 12118 m3 (07-08) at the power plant (continuous)
At our health science campus, we use a reverse osmosis system to purify ‘black water’. Use concentrate to feed it back to the next RO. Water optimisation and black water recycling RO concentrate used as feed water to RO 18 000 m3 saved (09-10).
