Globally, 2.7 billion people are using onsite sanitation systems,
particularly in low income, high density settlements (LIHDS) in
urban areas of developing countries. However, treatment
technologies to manage the faecal sludge (FS) generated from these
systems are often not in place, leading to high risks for
environmental and public health. The development of replicable and
effective technologies for FS treatment is key in addressing this
challenge. This research focused on development of an innovative FS
stabilisation technology and addressed key constraints in anaerobic
FS treatment: inadequate pathogen inactivation and limitations in
biochemical energy recovery. The developed two-stage reactor system
consists of an acidogenic reactor fed with mixtures of FS and
market waste to facilitate pathogen inactivation, and a subsequent
methanogenic plug-flow reactor for enhanced methane production. Due
to its potential for application as an off-site FS treatment
technology at any scale, receiving any type of faecal matter,
collected from different types of sanitary systems, the system
provides an option for FS stabilisation for LIHDS. Additionally,
the research evaluated the limitations of sanitation provision in
LIHDS, and proposes methods for creating an enabling environment
for full-scale implementation of onsite systems. The presented
results contribute to designing appropriate sanitation
interventions in LIHDS.
