Does not require an external source of electricity, water or sewer 2. A waste treatment system treats all pathogens on-site 3. An affordable system operating on no more than 5 cents per person / per day 4. An aspirational waste treatment & toilet system with appeal for developed and developing countries applications On-site Waste Treatment Prototype Site @ CEPT University Summary: Field Prototype Testing @ CEPT • Batch processing solid and liquid waste, recycling liquid for flush water. Potential to supply treated water for additional purposes • Solid-liquid separator and macerator processing waste to dried fuel, (currently doing ~1kg / week) • Aspirational cabin design featuring quality space, lighting, ventilation, ergonomics, safety, privacy and MHM • User insights on RT [1200 HH survey, 92 FGDs +900 people, over 1000 users] Product Adoption User Findings • Liquid treatment – Positive views on water-saving features – Interest in water treatment simplicity – Positive views on reuse, varying reaction to specific additional uses of recycled water – Odor, color, clarity drivers for reuse • Solid Waste Combustion – General comfort/familiarity with burning solid waste – Appreciate potential to generate energy • MHM – Discrete disposal at-site is highly valued feature – Strong support for incineration as strategy on-site – On-site disposal & water potential driver to toilet use Stakeholder Engagement Leads to Targeted Market Segments Schools are often places where children, teachers and staff don’t have access to adequate sanitation services. Attendance, participation, as well as the overall health and environment at schools could be addressed through on-site waste treatment that does not require piped sewerage. Opportunity to influence behavior change, improve health and education outcomes. Shared or community toilets are needed in a vast number of residential communities in the developing world. Space or money may be a constraint to household toilets. Shared facilities are a workable solution for many communities – managed in a cooperative or pay-per-use model. Opportunity to improve well-being, health and education outcomes. Stakeholder Engagement Leads to Targeted Market Segments Small and medium sized enterprises often are working in shells of buildings or in warehouse settings in industrial zones without bathrooms. Factories with hundreds of textile, metal working, plastics or other industries, are often found wanting for the provision of safe sanitation for the health and safety of its day-laborers. Opportunity to influence worker safety, influence behavior, improve worker well-being. Large commercial construction sites often have 100-300 workers on site, many in temporary camps with their families for 1-2 years while the construction is underway. Sanitation is often poor, and has an impact on worker health and productivity, and site cleanliness. Opportunity to improve workplace safety and worker well-being. Transportation hubs are frequently cited areas of concern for public sanitation. Thousands of passengers or drivers might come in and out of a transport hub to catch a bus or train, exchange cargo, or rest along a journey. Sanitation options are few because infrastructure costs are high, and the options, if present, are often not safe, clean or functional. Opportunity to influence behavior, improve worker well- being.

  • Metering and Conveying Silica Sand for Sedron Technologies General Description
    Metering and Conveying Silica Sand for Sedron Technologies General Description KWS Provides Critical Equipment Safe drinking water and clean sanitation systems are basic needs for everyone in the world. However, to Sedron Technologies approximately 4.5 billion people do not have access to these necessities. Viruses and diseases spread due to poor sanitation. Traditional sanitation systems are not feasible in certain areas of the world. New technology is needed to solve the problem of poor sanitation. Fortunately, many new ideas and developments are helping to create safe drinking water and clean sanitation. Sedron Technologies developed a decentralized waste treatment system using a Janicki Omni Processor that kills pathogens while recovering valuable resources from biosolids and other waste streams. The Omni Processor processes waste without piped water, sewer or electrical connections and can transform waste into useful resources such as energy and water. The process starts with biosolids mixed with hydrated lime and silica sand being fed to a dryer where moisture is removed. The dried solid waste is then burned to produce heat in a boiler to generate steam and power a turbine generator to produce electricity. The electricity powers the processor with excess electricity sold back to the power grid. For more information about Sedron Technologies and the Janicki Omni Processor, watch the Netix documentary “Inside Bill’s Brain: Decoding Bill Gates” or go to YouTube for various videos on the Janicki Omni Processor. Design Parameters Product Type: Silica Sand Material Density: 92 Lbs. per Cubic Foot Conveyor System Capacity: 23 Cubic Feet per Hour Duty: 24 hours per Day, 7 Days per Week KWS Advantages KWS has been working with Sedron Technologies on several phases of the Janicki Omni Processor waste treatment system and provided bulk material handling equipment for metering biosolids to the boiler to generate electricity.

  • Guidelines for Using Urine and Blackwater Diversion Systems in Single-Family Homes
    FOR PROTECTION OF THE BALTIC SEA ENVIRONMENT Guidelines for Using Urine and Blackwater Diversion Systems in Single-Family Homes Author: Maria Lennartsson & Peter Ridderstolpe Editor: Gunnar Norén, Executive Secretary, Coalition Clean Baltic Language: Carl Etnier and Diana Chace This brochure discusses two different systems for ecological sanitation in single family homes: urine diversion and blackwater diversion. It presents practical information and technical guidelines for installing and operating the systems, as well as for using urine and blackwater in agriculture. Introduction The primary purpose of a wastewater system is to provide a good sanitary environment in and around the home. This can be done in many different ways. A common solution for single-family homes outside urban areas has been to infiltrate the wastewater into the ground, after treatment in a septic tank. This is safe as long as the wastewater is discharged below the surface, and soil conditions and groundwater levels are appropriate. In the last decade, it has become more common to view wastewater as a resource. In the first place, water itself is regarded as a limited resource. Also, there is increased recognition that the nutrients in wastewater can be recycled through agriculture if the material can be properly disinfected. This has led to the development of new wastewater technologies, including source-separating systems in which either urine or blackwater (urine + feces) is collected separately. In this way, between 70 and 90% of all the nutrients in wastewater can be collected and used in agriculture. We will use the term ecological sanitation to describe this method of closing nutrient loops.
