In this study, centralized and decentralized
wastewater reuse alternatives were compared in terms of water saving potential
and costs for a touristic case study area in Antalya, Turkey. The results of
decentralized reuse revealed that the maximum water saving of a hotel is
limited with either amount of wastewater generated or ratio of irrigated
landscape area to bed number. The
breakpoint for the case study area is estimated as 50 m²/bed. As a
result, in hotels where the ratio of irrigated area is less than 50 m²/bed,
wastewater reuse may not be cost effective. In case of centralized
wastewater reuse, supply and demand is balanced and as a result 60% more water
saving may be achieved for the case study area. Furthermore, investment and
operation cost of centralized reuse are considerably low and the price of
reclaimed water is lower than price of service water. The average unit price of
reclaimed water used as irrigation water was found to be 1.29 €/m³
in decentralized reuse, while the unit price was found to be 0.35 €/m³
in centralized reuse; which brings forth an internal rate of return by 20% and
a 5-year payback period.

MERKEZİ VE YERİNDE ATIKSU GERİ KAZANIMININ KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI: BİR TURİZM BÖLGESİ İÇİN ÖRNEK ÇALIŞMA

Öz

Bu çalışmada, merkezi ve yerinde atıksu geri
kazanım alternatiflerinin, su tasarruf potansiyeli ve maliyeti, Antalya’daki bir
turizm bölgesi için karşılaştırılmıştır. Yerinde atıksu geri kazanımı
uygulamasında, geri kazanılabilecek su miktarının, oluşan atıksu miktarı ve
otelin sulama yapılan yeşil alan büyüklüğünün, yatak sayısına oranı ile ilgili
olduğu belirlenmiştir. İncelenen turizm bölgesi için, kırılma noktasının 50 m²/yatak olduğu tahmin
edilmiştir. Bu doğrultuda, sulanan yeşil alan büyüklüğünün yatak sayısına
oranının, bu değerin altında olduğu otellerde, yerinde atıksu geri kazanımı
ekonomik olmayabilir.  Merkezi
atıksu geri kazanım uygulanması durumunda ise, atıksu kaynağı ve ihtiyaç
arasında denge sağlanabilecek, incelenen turizm bölgesi için yerinde arıtmaya
kıyasla %60 daha fazla su geri kazanılabilecektir. Merkezi atıksu geri
kazanımının ilk yatırım ve işletme maliyetleri de yerinde arıtmaya kıyasla
oldukça düşük bulunmuş ve geri kazanılacak suyun maliyetinin, şebeke suyunun
altında olacağı tahmin edilmiştir. Yerinde geri kazanım için, sulama suyu
olarak kullanılabilecek arıtılmış suyun, ortalama birim fiyatı 1,29 €/m³
olarak hesaplanmış, buna karşın, merkezi atıksu geri kazanımında, arıtılmış
suyun 0,35 €/m³ bedel ile otellere satılması durumunda, % 20 iç
verim oranı ve 5 yıllık geri ödeme süresinin sağlanabileceği belirlenmiştir.
