2. ABSTRACT
The purpose of the project is to replace normal potable water by treated grey water in concrete. The treated grey
water is magnetized and used in concrete and the workability of the fresh concrete is to be determined. In
addition to this fly ash is replaced instead of cement with 10% percentage. Total solids and pH of the grey water
is monitored frequently. Magnetic water used as a replacement for superplasticizer in cement. Workability and
strength of the concrete is to be determined.
3. Concrete
Most needed material of this era
More use of cement – more environmental issues like carbon emission
Water
Use of water for mixing and curing – Demand increasing (Source: construction world magazine, Dated: May
2019)
Very much depleting resource in this era (precipitation, Ground water quality and quantity)
Source: unesco.org/united nations educational, scientific and cultural organization/digital library/ water in
changing world
What is the solution??
By -products from industries (Supplementary Cementitious Material - SCM)
Addition of water influence the property of concrete with SCM
Effective use of water with SCM gives desired properties for concrete
Regular treatment of waste water will not produce desired standard values to make concrete
Use of Magnetic Water – An alternate solution

copper pipe
• Magnetic field rearrange the water cluster in form of +ve
and –ve ion

Magnetic Water
Grey Water
• Grey water or sullage water is all waste water generated from households or office
buildings from streams without fecal contamination (from kitchen and washing)
• This water may be taken after the treatment process of oxidation and bar screening
6. MAGNETICALLY TREATED GREYWATER
Treated grey water is magnetically treated by using
magnetic setup
Magnetic setup consists of N and S poles of permanent
magnet . The water flow pipe is installed between two poles
After filling water in bucket, first control valve should be
opened
When control valve is opened, water flows through this
magnetic field setup , water turned into treated magnetic
field water (TMFW)
The pH value of treated grey water is 7.41
The pH value of magnetically treated grey water is 7.9
7. OBJECTIVES
The following objectives are considered in this project
To find the properties of magnetized treated grey water
To compare the workability of concrete by substituting flyash instead of cement
for the various percentages
To find the effect of magnetized treated grey water in making concrete with
