Pumping Urine from Urine Diversion Toilet to a Cultivated Field

Published by in Academic

Hi all

I would appreciate some advice regarding my latest project. I have installed UDDT toilets in Namibia. The urine production is around 170-200 l per day and I will collect about half of it (due to restricted storage capacity) and let the remainder soak away.

After allowing for 30 days of storage, I want to pump the urine to a cultivated land area 200m away where it will be used as fertiliser. I know there are several risks with pumping urine (or conveying urine), mostly due to struvite formation. Does anyone have any experience in this? Any advice would be much appreciated!

Regards

Megan

Hi Megan

Unfortunately we are not familiar with urine issues, but you may want to consider using specially colour-coded Hippo Rollers (90-litre) to help you move and temporarily store the urine.

Normally they are used to transport water much more easily.
