A demonstration household biochar filter has been built and is now running in a household in Gamla Uppsala to treat wastewater from a single household of 5 person. The filter has a unique design in which the biochar is used as a filter material in a multi module cabinet staked biochar of different properties to remove different types of pollutants including organics and micro pollutants. During the upcoming period, the quality of the wastewater will be analysed for different parameters (COD, Tot-N, Tot-P and other pollutants).
