Science - Environment & Ecology / Waste water treatment
German term or phrase: I/PE*d
This is a document on the treatment of waste water. I have a definition of black water using this term and I cannot find out whether it is the same in English. The appropriate part of the sentence is:

...mit dem das Schwarzwasser aus Toiletten und Urinalen (30 – 50 l/PE*d) immer wiederverwendet werden kann...

Is anyone able to help me, please?
