Looking for sustainable faecal sludge management solutions.

Published on by

 

Dear friends, we are in process of constructing community toilets for a population of around 20000. We will be constructing 300 nos. community latrines in total. Latrines will be having a storage tank of required capacity. Our storage tank design suggests de-sludging of tank at one months interval. De-sludging is going to be a problem for us as we do not have much land for treating or disposing the waste . We are looking for a some sustainable solution for this faecal sludge management project. If you have worked on any similar project, what treatment or management solution did you adopt?

      This booklet provides you with brief organization and technology overviews of each of the exhibitors presenting at the Reinvent the Toilet Fair: India. These “guides” are intended to offer a summary of some of the key features of the exhibits, for more information please ask the exhibitors directly. All the information in this booklet was supplied by the exhibitors. As the majority of technologies on display at the fair are still at the developmental stage, values may be estimates. We encourage you to speak with the team members at each exhibit. Primary contact information for each team can be found on the following pages.
