mr peeps Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Right. So. I was just wondering what you people do with wastewater. Ive tried to separate some and heat it so all germs die, but that's super wasteful and inefficient. So what do you guys do?

Kabrute Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 run it through a seive then to through an aquatuner, piped directly into hydroponics tiles, putting the heat into pwater headed back to the seive or. Otherwise I just run it through the seive then into an electrolizer because food poisoning in the air is harmless. Now with the waste water from algae distillers I have that on its own seive, going to bathrooms to change the slimelung to food poisoning Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/89309-what-to-do-with-waste-water/#findComment-1021555 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lutzkhie Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 check you water supply, your water geyser or vents etc, if you are getting a lot of clean water, you might as well turn those Pwater to fertz synthz, fertilizer can be feed to hatches, plus it produces NG. 3 of them can provide 1 nat gas generator Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/89309-what-to-do-with-waste-water/#findComment-1021579 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fertilizer is really useful for farming and natural gas is power source. Isn't the easiest solution just to sieve it back into your bathrooms? Since germs don't really seem to be an issue when it comes to cleaning, at least at the moment. Personally I'm a fan of putting it through a sieve and into a aquatuner that is sitting in the same Pwater, then wherever. But I'm still getting used to being able to get things generally stable, haven't messed with a lot of stuff yet.

pg13 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I made a system couple updates back that uses aquatuner to cool the geyser water and boils the pwater and cools the steam to 20C in the process, entire system pulls around 1930w max. I have to give credit to @Kuirem for the looks of the system but my principle is slightly different. I don't know if this would work in the latest update, but basically geyser water comes in at 95C into the second tank from the top, circles it thru an aquatuner back into the second tank and when it reaches certain temperature automation stops aquatuner and it works as an shutoff, so the pump pumps the water into the water tank. From the third tank steam goes into the top tank and obviously cools thru metal tiles. Sensors are: 1st tank: temp sensor:below 21C; hydro sensor: above 100kg 2nd tank: temp:above 19C; hydro: below 100kg 4th tank: left hydro:above 55kg;right hydro:above 5kg The system shuts off when you run out of polluted or normal water but I don't know how efficent it is in this update.

suicide commando Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I use polluted water for my fertiliser makers, which turn it into NG for my NG generators powering my base. The CO2 that they produce is then pumped down into my slickster farm. pH2O is a very useful resource. Don't 'clean' it with a sieve, instead use it for power, and get more clean water from water vents. Alternatively, if you're running low on clean water, you can run it through that sieve and then into your electrolysers.

Kabrute Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 co2 is the unused byproduct of fertsynth loops but said loops only make sense if you have an abundance of nat gas to begin with and need "Something to do with waste water" which is more or less the topic at hand This is what I do with waste water Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/89309-what-to-do-with-waste-water/#findComment-1021642 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuirem Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 @pg13 good idea to use it as both a Water cooler and a PWater boiler. Small thing though, Water isn't as effective as PWater in an aquatuner (you will use more Power to cool it down). If you want to optimize put PWater in the second tank from above and cool geyser water on the sides through metal tiles.

Arash70 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Don't make it too hard for yourself, pull all the extra polluted water in the polluted water tank, then whenever its excess, just switch your fertilizer synthesizers on and reserve its natural gas. Water boilers look cool and all, but there's a thing in the game called: Water Sieve Why boil it when you can just use that instead? germs? they don't really matter.

Soulwind Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I run germy polluted water through a sieve and into my "germy pure water" tank (so no off-gassing). Then I run the germy water through an aquatuner and then to my berry farms. What the farms don't consume, I run through a base-wide granite pipe radiator system to cool the entire living area, feed the lavatories with cool water (so they don't heat up like they would if you just run the sieve directly to them), and end the loop back in the germy pure water tank. Entire base is kept at a nice 14-18 C, with the berry farms at 12 C. It also means that I don't have to worry too much about cooling my O2 down, just getting it to a reasonable level to balance the cold from the water pipes. I have a second tank of non-germy clean water for cooking and other uses, which is resupplied from the "clean polluted water" coming from the algae distillers and NG generators (and where the aquatuner for the base cooling sits).

If it is too weak it may eventually get buffed again. However I'd rather it not be a death sentence if I accidentally let a puff of polluted oxygen into my base.
