Method of water discharge management

摘要

A method of water discharge management in a water processing system is provided. The method includes providing a supply of a first solution, providing a supply of a second solution, and selectively supplying the first solution to a water processing system and the second solution to the water processing system. The method further includes controllably and selectively directing discharge water formed in the water processing system through a first multi-way valve to a waste outlet during a period in which the discharge water satisfies a first selected criteria, and to a second multi-way valve during a period in which the discharge water satisfies a second selected criteria. The method also includes controllably and selectively directing the discharge water through the second multi-way valve to a first storage container connected to the second multi-way valve during a period in which the discharge water satisfies a third selected criteria, and to a third multi-way valve during a period in which the discharge water satisfies a fourth selected criteria. In addition, the method includes controllably and selectively directing the discharge water through the third multi-way valve to a second storage container during a period in which the discharge water satisfies a fifth selected criteria, and the discharge water as a solution to the supply of first solution during a period in which the discharge water satisfies a sixth selected criteria.

1. A method of water discharge management in a water processing system comprising:
providing a supply of a first solution; providing a supply of a second solution; selectively supplying the first solution to a water processing system and the second solution to the water processing system; discharging a discharge water from the water processing system; and implementing a reclamation protocol comprising: controllably and selectively directing the discharge water from the water processing system directly through a first multi-way valve to a waste outlet during a period in which the discharge water satisfies a first selected criteria, and to a second multi-way valve during a period in which the discharge water satisfies a second selected criteria; controllably and selectively directing the discharge water received from the first multi-way valve through the second multi-way valve to a first tube during a period in which the discharge water does not satisfy a third criteria, or to a second tube fluidly coupled to a regenerant solution storage container during a period in which the discharge water satisfies the third selected criteria; and controllably and selectively directing the discharge water from the waste outlet through an external drain line, wherein the discharge water in the external drain line comprises non-recaptured turbid liquid waste; wherein the first multi-way valve and the second multi-way valve are controlled by the water processing system which also controls and implements a regeneration cycle of the water processing system and the reclamation protocol; wherein the second selected criteria and the third selected criteria are each selected from the group consisting of a concentration of soft water ions, a concentration of hard water ions, a ratio of soft water ions to hard water ions, turbidity of the discharged water, and clarity of the discharged water; and wherein the second selected criteria and the third selected criteria are different selected criteria from the group.
