Water treatment system and water treatment method
The present disclosure aims to move water between a plurality of devices and create a cycle for reusing treated water generated by each device. A water treatment system includes a plurality of wastewater treatment machines provided for each source; a plurality of sensors that at least detect and output the water volume and water quality of treated water; tanks that store treated water as recirculation water; an excess water tank/storage tank that store excess water; and a control device that drive-controls the wastewater treatment machines and manages the water volume and water quality of treatment water in each source tank on the basis of sensor data from the sensors. The control device controls replenish shortages by using recirculation water from another source or excess water from an excess water tank, if a determination has been made that there is a shortage of recirculation water in one source, using sensor data.
1 . A water treatment system that treats sewage from each generating source of generating sources and stores treated waters as circulation/usage waters, wherein the generating sources include at least two of a toilet system, a cooking system, a laundry system and a shower system, the system comprising:
a plurality of first devices provided for the generating sources respectively, wherein the plurality of first devices include a membrane, or a filter;
one or more sensors that are provided for the generating sources respectively, wherein the one or more sensors includes at least one of: a water amount sensor configured to detect and output water amounts of treated waters of the first devices, and a water quality sensor configured to detect and output water qualities of treated waters of the first devices;
a plurality of tanks that are directly connected to the plurality first devices provided for the generating sources respectively, and that store the treated waters as circulation/usage waters;
an excess water tank that is connected to each of the plurality of tanks and stores excess water generated at the tanks, wherein the excess water tank is fluidly connected to the generating sources via the respective tanks; and
a control device that controls driving of the first devices, and that, based on sensor data from the sensors, manages water amounts and water qualities of the treated waters of the tanks of the respective generating sources,
wherein, responsive to the control device judges, based on the sensor data, that insufficiency in a circulation/usage water of one of the generating sources has arisen, the control device effects control so as to replenish an insufficient amount by circulation/usage water of another generating source or excess water of the excess water tank.
2 . The water treatment system of claim 1 , wherein:
the circulation/usage waters become excessive at the toilet system and the cooking system, and the circulation/usage waters decrease at the laundry system and the shower system, and
responsive to an insufficiency in the circulation/usage water arises at the laundry system or the shower system, responsive to there is excess circulation/usage water at the toilet system or the cooking system, the control device effects control so as to replenish the insufficient amount of water to a tank of the laundry system or the shower system from a tank of the toilet system or the cooking system.
3 . The water treatment system of claim 1 , comprising:
a natural resource storing water tank that stores water from a natural resource.
4 . The water treatment system of claim 1 , wherein, when the control device judges, based on the sensor data, that one or more of the water amount or the water quality of the treated water is less than a reference value, the control device is configured to transmit predetermined warning data to an external terminal device, and receive a driving instruction from the external terminal device.
5 . The water treatment system of claim 2 , comprising:
a natural resource storing water tank that stores water from a natural resource.
6 . The water treatment system of claim 2 , wherein, when the control device judges, based on the sensor data, that one or more of the water amount or the water quality of the treated water is less than a reference value, the control device is configured to transmit predetermined warning data to an external terminal device, and receive a driving instruction from the external terminal device.
7 . The water treatment system of claim 1 , wherein, responsive to the control device judges, based on the sensor data, that insufficiency in a circulation/usage water of a first generating source has arisen, determine whether a replenishment from tanks directly connected to generating sources other than the first generating source is available,
responsive to determining the replenishment is available, the control device effects control to replenish the insufficiency using the circulation/sewage water from the tanks directly connected to generating sources other than the first generating source, and
responsive to determining the replenishment is unavailable, the control device effects control to replenish the insufficiency using water from the excess water tank.
