For those that are technically inclined:
Our new closed STP (sewerage treatment plant) is up and running – it was fired up on Monday 20th June and this morning at 8am the clock was standing on 384,000 litres of processed grey water, so we have been averaging 38,400 litres per day – it is quite amazing to see and smell the processed water, clear and smelling of ozone (bleach).
The performance of this unit will only be at optimum levels in about the next 2 weeks, but it’s already producing incredible results. Each 10,000 litre processing tank produces 10 litres of clean water per minute (40 litres between the 4 per minute).
We will also do a monthly spread sheet in future whereby we can get an accurate water consumption/sewerage footprint per bed night. We will then look at ways reducing this sewerage footprint… All the processed water is used in our irrigation system.
Our “sky walk” and deck project is also coming on well. Hopefully all material will be on site this coming week, an interesting fact is that we will be using 1.5 million used plastic shopping bags (nearly 12 tons) for our decking and walkways.
