Use of the WFF 150 vortex fine filter
Object data
Seoul, South Korea | 2005
In October 2005, the second large rainwater harvesting system was built on the campus of Seoul National University. The university is considered the leading scientific and technical training centre for engineers in South Korea. Professor Mooyoung Han teaches water quality management and water recycling technology there. His special concern is rainwater utilisation. He was the initiator of the test facilities in the student dormitory, ready for operation in 2003, and in the institute building B 39, completed in 2005.
1,000 students and employees work in B 39. Their demand for toilet flushing is 60-90 m³ of rainwater per day. Measuring instruments were also installed with the plant technology so that the students at Prof. Han can examine the quality and suitability of the runoff from a total of 3,652 m² of roof area. A part of the rainwater passes through the WFF 150 vortex fine filter from WISY AG on its way to the cistern. The comparison with other cleaning techniques has shown that the WFF 150 reliably separates dirt and particles from the usable water, so that periodic cleaning of the cistern is not necessary.
