CONTENTS

INVESTIGATION 03 chapter 2
Diamond is a solid form of the element carbon with its atoms arranged in a crystal structure called diamond cubic.
DEVICE&PROTOTYPE 15
Because the arrangement of atoms in diamond is extremely rigid, few types of impurity can contaminate it.
chapter 3
FIELDTRIP WORK 33
Diamonds occur most often as euhedral or rounded octahedra and twinned octahedra known as macles. As diamond's crystal structure has a cubic arrangement of the atoms, they have many facets that belong to a cube, octahedron

INFORMATION GATHERING PHASE
JINGHONG JIANG
The programme aims to develop a site-specific and technology-focused understanding of architecture, as a response to present and future global challenges, including those defined as UN Global Goals. The first semester will centre on the understanding of the context/theme/site and its relevant challenges in habitation and the built environment. The semester’s work is divided into the phases; Information gathering, Prototype, Fieldwork, Formalization and Communication. The fieldwork revolves around the testing of prototypes that are designed to explore a certain theme and/or survey a chosen site. Emphasis is given to an understanding of the formal and artistic implications of the designs in the given contexts and how the design can instigate a dialogue with its surroundings. This year,we are going to Faroe Islands...

The Information Gathering phase will focus on acquiring facts and data on the year’s region of study (FAROE ISLANDS 2020/21) . This will allow the acquisition data and fact finding skills. Correct referencing, crediting, and copyright legislation, as well as mediation of data through infographics, are some of the key skills which this task will engage with. The task will be carried out in groups and formalized via comprehensive graphics, understanding the importance of visual and aesthetic communication while conveying rigorous facts and being able to create a system of values to select relevant information.

THE FAROE ISLANDS
The Faroe Islands have rich fishery resources. Faroese fisheries and aquaculture are the basis for the production and export of high quality Faroese fish products, representing 95% of merchandise exports and 20% of total Faroese GDP. Therefore, as an isolated island, how to deal with city wastewater becomes extremely critical.

WASTEWATER IN FAROE
AQUACULTURE SEWAGE: Faroese fisheries and aquaculture are the basis for the production and export of high quality Faroese fish products,representing 95% of merchandise exports and 20% of total Faroese GDP.
HOSPITAL SEWAGE: Phosphate was the only contaminant that was found in the recipient at concentrations higher than the reference value which was 1.5 times the background concentration. The main concerns of the recipient for the Sersjantvikin discharge are nutrients, primarily phosphorous, and micropollutants, both groups of potential pollutants which are not efficiently removed during primary treatment.
DOMESTIC SEWAGE: These analyses did not indicate that wastewater from commerce/industry provided effluents with higher phthalate concentration, on the contrary; the highest phthalate concentration were found in effluents from both new and older residence buildings. This means that the lack of heavy industry does not preclude these areas containing DINP at 240 g/l and DEHP at 140 g/l were recorde. diisononyl phthalate (DINP),diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP)
MAIN CHALLENGE(from interview):
Microalgae 08
Some households are located in excluded areas where it is expensive and difficult to get the infrastructure to reach out.
Sewage Purifying Diamond
Rain and wastewater separation is not yet established everywhere. When there is a lot of rain the flow through the system is so large, that the water is not adequately treated.

The Sersjantvikin WWTP is located in Tórshavn,
The Main Hospital has 180 hospital beds, and performs approx.
The WWTP involves a primary treatment step consisting of a septic tank with a volume of 129 m3 which is emptied once a year. The hydraulic residence time (HRT) is approximately 10 hours during dry weather conditions, and can be considerable lower (about 1–2 hours) during precipitation events.
The hospital has its own sewage treatment plant,which was dimensioned for 1,000 PE and built in 1962/63 but renovated in 2004 and 2011. The first part of the LSH WWTP consists of a sand filter and a mechanical prefiltration. Thereafter the wastewater enters an Emscherwell mechanical treatment and sludge separation. Finally, the wastewater in led to an aeration tank for aerobic degradation before discharge to recipient. The effluent is released 4–5 m below sea surface at a distance approx. 10 m from the shoreline.

The second effluent stream contributes with domestic wastewater from of approximately 10,000 PE. The main part of this wastewater has been treated in septic tanks at the individual households. The combined effluent are released about 5 meters below sea surface at a distance of about 5 meters from the shoreline.

3 Options for improved sewage purification
Focus Contaminants
02. Upgrad to a Secondary Treatment Step
The main concerns of the recipient for the Sersjantvikin WWTP discharge are nutrients, primarily phosphorous, and micropollutants, both groups of potential pollutants which are not efficiently removed during primary treatment.
A second option is to introduce a centralized secondary treatment step at junction of the outlets from the households and the Sersjantvikin WWTP. As above mentioned, introducing secondary treatment to the treatment process can be an endpoint in itself, as several studies have shown that biological treatment is effective for removal of paracetamol (acetaminophen), estrogens (natural and synthetic), salicylic acid (metabolite of acetylsalicylic acid), and pathogens. H o w e v e r, t h e e f f i c i e n c y o f t h e re m o v a l processes are dependent on both wastewater characteristics and WWTP operations, and removal efficiencies of micropollutants have shown to vary between WWTPs. A Swizz study showed that about 50% of micropollutants were removed by secondary treatment plants and other studies have shown similar results (Margot et al., 2013).

03. Upgrad to a tertiary treatment step
OUTPUT
Microalgae 14
Conventional wastewater treatment, with primary and secondary treatment steps, is not designed for the purpose of removing micropollutants from the effluent. Therefore, in order to get the most effective removal of micropollutants, it could be considered to upgrade the treatment with both secondary and tertiary treatment steps. Several different tertiary treatment processes have proven efficient in the removal of micropollutants where the most promising are advanced oxidation processes and activated carbon which are mostly followed by some type of filtration. In this context of evaluating suitable tertiary treatment options, it may also be relevant to know more about the wastewater characteristics; the fate of micropollutants in a WWTP is not only dependent on the operational conditions in the WWTP (temperature, pH etc.) but also of the composition of the wastewater.

The area around the Sersjantvikin outlet in Tórshavn is used for recreational purposes and food production (fish farming) takes place within few kilometers. Maintaining a high quality marine environment is therefore of great concern. The results of the analyses conducted in phase 1 of this project showed that the recipient of the Sersjantvikin WWTP is not adversely affected by the discharge of the investigated contaminants. Phosphate was the only contaminant that was found in the recipient at concentrations higher than the reference value which was 1.5 times the background concentration. However, previous investigations in the same area have shown high concentrations of detergents (LAS, DDAC, and BAC). Furthermore, there is interest in investigating the possible removal other emerging contaminants such as pharmaceuticals (as painkillers paracetamol and acetylsalicylic acid), hormones (both natural and synthetic), and phthalates. In addition to this, there is a focus on pathogen removal.

The second is how to use a non-pollution biological facade that can be used to purify city wastewater.
