Urine-Diversion Squatting Pans & Pedestals
(photos: seecon gmbh)
• different types and designs ofurine-diversion squatting pans areavailable in the Indian market;
• the urine is collected in the frontcompartment and led away by apipe;
• feces drop through the rearopening;
• if wet anal cleansing habits prevailin a community installation of ananal clenasing water collectiondevice has to be planned for; source (1)

Urinals Without Stench Trap & with Membrane Stench Trap
• easiest way to provide a urinecollection system for males;
• divert urine to a separate collectiontank;
• don‘t provide cisterns or waterconnections for flushing urinals aftereach use to avoid dilution;
(photo: M. Wafler)
• the stench barrier consists of a thinrubber tube;
• urine passes through thismembrane, which then closes whenthe urine flow stops and effectivelyseals the urine outlet, preventingsmell;

Waterless Urinals with Liquid Stench Trap & Ladies Urinals
• urine passes through a liquid havinga lower specific gravity than theurine itself, which acts as an odourseal, overflows into the central tubeand runs down the collection pipe;
• sealing liquid has to be replenishedperiodically; frequency ofreplenishing depends upon thetraffic to the fixture;

Waterless Urinals with Hydrostatic or Electromagnetic Float Assembly
• a replaceable odour-locking element(A) receives the urine and channelsit (without water) into the wastepipe;
• the float assembly seals the element(without using sealing liquid) andprevents the development of odour;
• the urine flows into the cylinder-shaped piece (B) in the siphon, and

Average Daily Quantities of Excrements Produced per Person in India
For Indian conditions, for example, daily volume of excreted feces isgiven with less than 200 ml [3] to about 300 ml [4] per person.
Let`s separate!
Specific urine production is about 1.2 litres per person per day ([5], [3]).

Sizing of Double-Vault UDD-Toilet (contd.)
• Processing compartments shall be sealed (either by removeable concreteslabs or lockable covers) to prevent rainwater and insects from entering thecompartments.
• The bottom slab of the processing chamber shall be raised about 10 cmabove the surrounding ground level to prevent flood water from entering thecompartment.
• Plaster has to be applied to inner walls and the bottom slab to provide asmooth surface.
Construction details and other important information (contd.)
smooth surface.
• Squatting pans must either have a rim or be raised ca. 2 cm above thefinished floor level of the toilet to prevent water used for cleaning the toiletfrom entering both, the processing compartments and the urine collectionsystem.
• Squatting pans/pedestals have to be provided tight fitting covers to preventinsects from entering the processing compartments.
• Inner and outer wall areas of cubicles may be left as rough walls (withoutplastering). But, inner wall areas should be tiled up to a hight correspondingto 60 cm from the finished floor level for ease of cleaning.

Sizing of Double-Vault UDD-Toilet (contd.)
• Each processing compartment must be provided a straight ventilation pipe(Ø ≥ 150 mm) that runs above the roof (at least 50 cm), is screenedagainst flies and capped for rain.
• To avoid leakiness of the roof in rainy season, the vent pipes shall not beinstalled inside the cubicle but be attached to the outside wall for notpenetrating the roofing.
• Urine shall be drained to sealed receptacles (jerry can, transportable plastic
Construction details and other important information (contd.)
• Urine shall be drained to sealed receptacles (jerry can, transportable plastictank, etc) which may be stored out-side the toilet.
• Use corrosion resistant material (plastic) for urine pipes, provide forproper diameter (Ø ≥ 50 mm) and slope (≥ 4%) to avoid stagnation(reduces smell and slows down incrustation by crystallisation), extend urinepipe to ca. 3” above bottom of receptacle.
• If wet anal cleansing habits should prevail in a community, cleansing watermust be diverted from faecal matter for practical reason. Cleansing watermay either be used for subsurface irrigation of nearby plants or beingdisposed off by infiltration into the soil.

Construction details and other important information (contd.)
• Even if a treatment is aimed at elimination of the risk of pathogentransmission and its potential has been proven, process stepps maymalfunction, resulting in a fertilizer product that is not completely hygienicallysafe. Therefore additional measures should be taken in order to furtherminimize the risk for disease transmission. Thus [10]:
� Equipment used for e.g. transportation of unsanitized faeces should notbe used for the treated (sanitized) product;be used for the treated (sanitized) product;
� When applying faeces to soil, precautions related to the handling ofpotentially infectious material should be taken. These precautions shouldinclude personal protection and hygiene. Hand washing should naturallybe done.
� Faeces should be worked into the soil as soon as possible and not beleft on the soil surface.
� Improperly sanitized faeces should not be used for vegetables, fruits orroot crops that will be consumed raw, excluding fruit trees.

Environmental Transmission Routes and Barriers
Transmission routes for enteric pathogens • provision of water for hand washing,• elevated or lined collection chamber,• using ash, lime, etc.,• informed persons collecting and
transporting excreta,• suitable choice of location,• treatment in closed systems,• information signs in place,• informed farmers reusing excreta,• special equippment available,

new WHO guidelines for the safe use of wastewater, excreta and greywater (2006)
4 Volumes:
• Volume 1: Policy and regulatory aspects
• Volume 2: Wastewater use in agriculture
• Volume 3: Wastewater and excreta use in aquaculture
• Volume 4: Excreta and greywater use in agriculture
With these new guidelines WHO …
recognizes that the reuse of wastewater, greywater and excreta in agricultureand aquaculture is practiced worldwide on a large scale, however often withoutsufficient health production measures;
recognizes the importance of reuse of wastewater, greywater and excreta forsustainable food production and improved livelihood;
recognizes source-separation as a special and valid approach which cancontribute to risk reduction and
provides guidance on health protection measures for safe reuse.
![Page 48: Ecosan Training Courses for TSC officials · • Urine shall be drained to sealed receptacles (jerry can, transportable plastic Construction details and other important information](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040822/5e6c8270d5955e2fdf062b20/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Adapted protection level for wastewater/excreta use in agriculture in new WHO guidelines
adopted protection level for wastewater/excreta use in agriculture in the new WHO guidelines:
tolerable additional disease burden = 10-6 DALYs or 1 µDaly / person / year
= only one of a million human life years expectancy will be lost due to the potential additional disease from wastewater/excreta reuse
= same protection level as used in the WHO guideline for drinking water
Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs)DALYs are a measure of population health in terms of the burden due to a
specific disease or risk factor.DALYs attempt to measure healthy years of life lost because of disability or
death from a disease.DALYs account for not only acute health effects but also for delayed and chronic
effects.different health outcomes (e.g., cancer vs. diarrhea) can be compared and risk
management decisions can be prioritized.

Examples of health protection measures
crop restriction:a) non-food crops such as cotton, “biodiesel” crops, etc;b) food-crops that are processed before consumption (e.g. wheat);c) food-crops that have to be cooked (e.g. potatoes, rice, etc.).
wastewater application techniques:
a) flood and furrow irrigation;b) spray and sprinkler irrigation;c) localized irrigation (e.g. bubbler, drip, trickle, ect.);d) cessation of irrigation with wastewater 1 or 2 weeks prior to harvest.d) cessation of irrigation with wastewater 1 or 2 weeks prior to harvest.
pathogen die-off before consumption:
food preparation measures:
• produce washing with water; disinfecting; peeling; cooking.
human exposure control:
• field workers, consumers.
wastewater treatment:
• primary/secondary/tertiary treatment, disinfection (chlorination, UV)

Different Scales of Urine Reuse Systems
Single households:
• the urine mixture can be used without storage for all type of crops, if crop is intended for the household’s own consumption;
• a withholding period of one month passes between fertilizing and harvesting;
• one reason for less stringent guidelines for single households is that the risk for person-to-person transmission will exceed the risk from urine-related environmental transmission!

Different Scales of Urine Reuse Systems (contd.)
Large scale systems:
• specific recommendations may need to be adapted, based on local conditions, and accounting for behavioural factors and the chosen technical system;
• based on the risk assessment calculations for urine, it can be concluded that a withholding time of a few weeks in the fields corresponds to the suggested storage time of one month at 20°C;
• the only difference when not requiring storage systems would thus be that the persons who apply the urine or who work in the fields are exposed to potentially higher concentrations of pathogens
![Page 55: Ecosan Training Courses for TSC officials · • Urine shall be drained to sealed receptacles (jerry can, transportable plastic Construction details and other important information](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040822/5e6c8270d5955e2fdf062b20/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Different Scales of Urine Reuse Systems (contd.)
• Inactivation of pathogens will also occur on agricultural land after application of the excreta as fertilizer
• Pathogens may even be inactivated in and on crops that may have become contaminated by fertilizer during the growth phase, or from splashes from the soil during heavy rains.from splashes from the soil during heavy rains.
• The inactivation is dependent on ambient temperature, moisture and sunshine (that will increase the temperature, decrease the moisture and affect pathogens by UV-light).
• In the soil, the naturally occurring microorganisms will also compete with the introduced pathogens and enhance their die-off.
