Management of sludge is one of the most pressing issues in
sanitation provision. The situation is especially complex when
large quantities of fresh sludge containing various contaminants
are generated in onsite sanitation systems in urban slums,
emergency settlements and wastewater treatment facilities that
require proper disposal of the sludge. The application of fast and
efficient sludge management methods is important under these
conditions. This study focused on the development of an innovative
sludge treatment unit that is based on the microwave irradiation
technology. The technology provides a rapid and efficient option
for sludge treatment in isolated conditions such as slum,
emergency, and similar situations. The microwave based technology
forms part of the eSOS (emergency sanitation operation system)
concept that promotes an integrated sanitation approach in which
all components of the entire sanitation chain are planned
holistically. Besides, the study addresses the deficiencies
associated with the poor choice of emergency sanitation technology
options by proposing a methodology that is based on compensatory
multi-criteria analysis. This study contributes in providing
solutions towards improved sanitation in complex scenarios,
especially the management of faecal sludge in emergency and slum
conditions.
