This project investigates the utilization of vermifilters for treating greywater samples collected from the kitchen source and handwash sink of a Physically Differently Abled hostel located in the JSS campus, Mysuru. The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of vermifilters, utilizing Eisenia fetida earthworms, in reducing parameter values by more than 80% after treatment. The design parameters considered for the vermifilter system are hydraulic retention time (HRT) and flow rate. Laboratory experiments were conducted on the greywater samples, analyzing parameters such as suspended solids, nutrients, and pathogens before and after treatment. The results demonstrate that vermifilters effectively reduced the concentrations of the selected parameters by over 80% after treatment. Additionally, the influence of design parameters, specifically HRT and flow rate, on the treatment efficiency of vermifilters was investigated. Optimal combinations of these parameters were identified, leading to enhanced treatment effectiveness and achieving the desired reduction in parameter values. The findings of this project provide valuable insights into the application of vermifilters for greywater treatment in similar contexts, such as Physically Differently Abled hostels. The significant reduction in parameter values highlights the potential of vermifilters as sustainable and cost-effective solutions for greywater reclamation. Moreover, the study emphasizes the importance of considering design parameters to optimize vermifilter performance and showcases the efficacy of Eisenia fetida earthworms in the treatment process.
