  1. Experience tends to highlight that they are an option for single dwellings (used by the same people).  However for multi user sites (public toilets) then they rarely live up to expectations.  Odours, fly nuisance, increased maintenance are a few of the common problems.  A quick google search will highlight papers detailing these issues.  

    One alternative technology is vermifiltration (using worms).  The user will see no difference as they will be faced with the conventional flush toilet and wash hand basin.  The worms are quite at home digesting the sewage and toilet paper, and since they breath air the system is fully aerobic due to their constant burrowing activities.  The effluent from the vermfilter is of good quality and can easily be disposed through a simple soakaway.  

    My company specialises in these systems and will be In New Delhi 2 - 4th January.  If you are anywhere near there I would be more than happy to meet up with you to discuss our systems.

    Présenter le traitement des excréments sous une forme écologique comme la production d'un compost fertilisateur est une utopie.

    La vocation d'un composteur  est d'éliminer la matière organique VEGETALE et uniquement de la matière organique VEGETALE. La fonction d'éliminer  n'est absolument pas celle de fertiliser. Les résidus du composteur ( compost) sont de la boue, un poison pour l'environnement. 

    Un produit mort. Seul un produit -vivant- nourrit un autre -vivant- .Enterré dans le sol ce résidu (compost) va mettre des années à disparaitre au risque de polluer le milieu. si en plus ce compost est imprégné de produits  lessiviels contenant des particules chimiques c'est criminel

    Present treatment of excrement in an ecological form of fertilizing compost production is a utopia.

    The vocation of a composter is to eliminate organic matter plant and only the organic matter plant. The function to eliminate is absolutely not to fertilize. The composter (compost) residues are mud, a poison for the environment. 

    A dead product. Only one product - living - feeding another - living -. Buried in the ground this residue (compost) is going to take years to disappear at the risk of polluting the environment. In addition this compost is infused with detergent containing particles chemical if criminal
