Over the past few years on-site sanitation has been widely promoted
as a solution which can be quickly implemented to address
sanitation issues, and it is gaining traction. As such, treatment
of the contents emptied from on-site containments has become a
pressing issue. While dedicated treatment facilities for this
purpose have been advocated, co-treating these wastes in sewage
treatment facilities is a promising option, which many countries
have implemented or are exploring. This option maximises the
utilisation of city infrastructure. In cases where the existing
sewage treatment facilities are underutilised, co-treatment
presents a ready solution for managing fecal sludge and septage. In
spite of co-treatment being a well-known practice in many
countries, it remains clouded in uncertainty, especially regarding
the technical advisability, and potential risks of co-treating
fecal sludge or septage in sewage treatment plants. Planners and
decision-makers are often very apprehensive in considering
co-treatment. As a result, the opportunity to better utilise
available infrastructure for co-treatment of sludge is often being
missed. Meanwhile, there are also many cases where co-treatment has
been tried, either successfully or otherwise, but it has not been
possible to draw conclusions from these, to guide the way forward.
This guide book explores some of the basic principles behind sewage
treatment, and how it may be impacted by co-treatment of wastes
from on-site containments, to try to throw some light on how
co-treatment could be considered, in an incremental manner,
recognising risks and mitigating them. It is intended to facilitate
a better understanding among planners, engineers, decision makers
and technical practitioners and to help them evaluate and consider
the option of co-treatment
