The Energy Consumption in the Residental Houses

Effective and Economical building methods for saving energy
Thermal insulation doesn’t pay off just in winter – the same properties that keep walls warm in winter keep homes cool in summer. Thermal insulation is amongst the most effective and economical ways of actively practising environmental protection in old and new buildings, putting right past building mistakes when renovating old properties and at the same time reducing lifetime heating costs.

Benefits of Thermal Insulation
substantial reduction in fuel requirements, meaning lower costs,
prevention of mould growth on walls and ceilings,
pleasant wall temperatures even in cold winters (lower electricity bills),
more pleasant indoor atmosphere in hot summers.

Biological Sewage Treatment Systems

 

Implementation of Biological Sewage Treatment Systems in Afghanistan

Household sewage treatment plants
Household sewage treatment plants are designed to treat waste water from houses, guest houses, lodges and other establishments for 2 to 50 people. Household treatment plant consists of a tank in which there is a non-aerated zone and a separation. Tremendous advantage is that the cleaning operation is stable and the need for service and maintenance is minimal. Household sewage treatment plants occupy a minimum area. Thanks to its small size, odourless and noiseless operation it can be installed close to home. The most commonly are plants placed under the ground, but they can be placed also in home basements.

Household sewage treatment plants

Technology of household sewage treatment plant is placed into tanks, which may be plastic, stainless steel or composite steel-concrete.

The using of Own sewage treatment systems in the underdeveloped system of central wastewater treatment plants have huge advantage for the economy, environmental protection, and not least the health of residents. Environmental advantage of reducing the number of removing waste water in the city of Kabul and near the unprotected landfill can limit adverse health effects on groundwater and inhabitants.

Small Sewage treatment plant
Small sewage treatment plant is a sewage treatment plant to 500 of population equivalents. Plant purifies wastewater from buildings such as houses, recreational facilities, restaurants, manufacturing workshops, offices, nurseries.

Basic characteristics and division of small sewage treatment plants
Small sewage treatment plants treat the waste water by microorganisms, attached firmly to the base in the form of various systems of biofilters and biodisks drenched by sewage and also by activation systems with sludge in the fluid, in which there are flakes of sludge mixed with waste water and air. Most sewage treatment plants work on the principle of an aerobic treatment system where organic matter is decomposed by a mixture of microorganisms which need oxygen from the air to life.

Basic requirements and conditions for small scale sewage treatment plant

  • Purification efficiency of greater than 95%
  • Quiet in operation
  • Energy consumption less than 1 kWh/m 3 treated water
  • Vapour tight excluding odour in the surrounding area
  • Long-term functionality without any inflow of sewage
  • Ability to handle inrush inflow
  • Unattended operation and minimal maintenance costs
  • Little or no demand for professional service
  • Use of only non-corrosive materials
  • Storage of treatment products for at least 3 months of operation.

The degree of biological pollution of wastewater is most commonly expressed by the value of BOD5 (biological oxygen demand). In common sewage it ranges from 200 to 400 mg/l. Discharge from well-functioning sewage treatment plant has values 15 to 30 mg/l. For discharge into water body are for the household wastewater treatment plant required values below 50 mg/l and for infiltration into the ground it is usually below 8 mg/l.

Fruit Boxes Advantages

  • Easy Transportation: Transportation of fruit and vegetable is still a major problem in Afghanistan and the mentioned items can’t be transported from place to place properly. It not only affects interior business of fruit and vegetable, but also their export abroad. One of the reasons is improper packing; especially, using wooden boxes which have unfavorable tough and heavy structures that damage the goods that are transported through unpaved routes by them.To solve the problem polystyrene boxes could be sued instead of wooden and plastic boxes and cartons.
  • Protection against Hot and Cold Weather: These boxes due to their structures that are made of expanded polymers are appropriate options for protecting fruit and vegetable at the time of transportation and storage. Polystyrene boxes due to lower thermal conductivity than wooden and plastic boxes and cartons are the most incomparable options.
  • Protection against Physical Damages: Polystyrene boxes not only don’t damage fruit and vegetable, but also due to their softness and lightness protect them from pressing at the time of transportation and storing the boxes on each other and this characteristic prevents such goods from squeezing and wasting.
  • Exporting According to the World Standards: Presently exporting of fruit and vegetable must be according to world standards: Preservation of Quality with the Best Condition Protection against Infection Standard and Reliable Packing Polystyrene boxes are according to world norms. Using polystyrene boxes countries whichexport fruit and vegetable have achieved good marketing for their products. And China could be mentioned as an outstanding example.
  • Retaining Fruit and Vegetable Quality While Transporting: In case of long way transportation and other effective circumstances such as temperature that spoils fruit and vegetable, polystyrene boxes are the most reliable options. These boxes save inside materials against hot and cold weather, water at the time of raining and physical damages at the time of taking them from place to place. In case of elongation of time of transportation, changes don’t take place in quality of fruit and vegetable, comparing to other boxes and this characteristic on its own is valuable about saving such goods.
