The wastewater management system includes a series of holding tanks coupled with a membrane bioreactor treatment subsystem connected to one or more autoclave and/or sonication units and a thermal evaporator to treat liquid exiting the system. A condenser connected to the thermal evaporator(s) condenses the water vapor produced by the thermal evaporator(s) to its liquid state, which is transferred to plants in a dedicated greenhouse or hydroponic system for assimilation, or reuse in a building. The CO 2 and water vapor produced by the combustion of the thermal evaporator fuel source are sent through a condenser for addition to liquid water recovery. CO 2 enters the greenhouse for carbon fixation by plants. The CO 2 monitoring system ensures that the CO 2 concentration in the greenhouse is maintained at an acceptable level for humans. Ozone treatment, UV and/or chloride treatment can be used as optional water treatment in the system. |
