1. A system for processing wastewater comprising:
a container configured to (a) receive wastewater comprising black water; and (b) produce a wastewater stream from said wastewater;
a processing unit in fluidic communication with said container, configured to (a) receive said wastewater stream from said container; and (b) perform a separation process to separate a solid phase from a liquid phase of said wastewater stream, wherein said processing unit comprises a mesh bag comprising a non-porous plastic material;
one or more processing units configured to perform one or more anaerobic digestion processes to reduce a concentration of anaerobic species from said wastewater stream, and/or (ii) one or more aerobic digestion processes to reduce a concentration of aerobic species from said wastewater stream; and
one or more disinfection units configured to perform one or more disinfection processes to reduce a concentration of bacteria and/or viruses from said wastewater stream, thereby producing a product stream having drinking-water quality,
wherein said separation process is upstream of any one of said one or more anaerobic digestion processes and said one or more aerobic digestion processes and comprises sedimentation, flotation, and/or precipitation; wherein said one or more anaerobic digestion processes and said one or more aerobic digestion processes are upstream of any one of said one or more disinfection processes.
