In the recent decade, there has been a substantial growth in investment and interest to address the challenges in “Faecal Sludge Management” (FSM). A favorable and relaxed financial environment has been created by funding organisations to go for trials of various FSM solutions. In the league of finding efficient solutions, Naturally Acceptable and Technologically Sustainable (NATS) in Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), holds a substantial position for the work it has been doing. NATS reaches out to address the FSM challenges with two different approaches

Solar Septic Tank: An Innovative Sanitation Technology Solving problem at the point of generation

This septic tank uses the abundantly present source of energy, SOLAR. The temperature in the tank is increased by 40-50oC, accelerating the anaerobic digestion. This increased microbial methanogenic activity in the sludge layer of the septic tank results in more organic degradation, less total volatile solids or sludge accumulation and more production of methane gas than in conventional septic tanks operating at the ambient temperature. The reduction of sludge accumulation delays the frequency of desludging and subsequent treatment of faecal sludge (FS). The increased biogas (energy) could be used for lighting and heating, while the effluents with low E. coli concentration would reduce the public health threat. These solar septic tanks are currently used in some areas of Thailand. To find more about this, please visit our stall.

FSM Toolbox One stop database with necessary supports to key people involved in FSM

NATS has been the creator and the curator of the FSM Toolbox along with the support of its partners. The Toolbox is a one stop database of necessary tools

and documents to address the issues of FSM. Initially, focused for three target users (Donors, City Planner, Consultants) these tailor made tools are applicable to all genres of FSM practicioners. Toolbox helps you from knowing your city FSM situation, to selecting appropriate technologies, to projecting its cost, until monitoring with resources led out in an organized structure called FSM Program Workflow.

In the field of FSM, BORDA and its partner CDD Society are pioneers and leaders with over 10 years of on-the-ground project experience around the world. We focus on the entire FSM value chain, applying global learning to local implementation. This full-cycle approach, combined with our capacity for local and regional service provision, enables us to deliver town-scale FSM infrastructure and services adapted to community needs.

The Bremen Overseas Research and Development Association (BORDA) was founded in 1977 by planners, engineers, business people and social scientists as a civil society expert organisation. Collaborating worldwide with more than 40 organisations, BORDA is committed to making the transition towards liveable and inclusive cities that give disadvantaged urban populations access to essential public services such as energy, sanitation, waste management, and water. With its partners, BORDA designs and implements innovative system packages; fosters capacity development at the local, national and international level; and facilitates dialogue between civil society organisations, communities, government entities, the private sector, scientific institutions, and international organisations.

in 2005 that provides integrated turnkey service to government, sustained through a public-private partnership model. CDD designs, builds and operates faecal sludge treatment plants, ultimately transferring their control to urban local authorities. We also operate de-sludging trucks, ensuring that faecal sludge is safely transported, treated and reused. While our strength lies in providing integrated operation & management of de-sludging trucks and treatment plants, our process aims to create the systems and build the capacities that make FSM sustainable.

The process begins with surveying, data collection and stakeholder engagement to understand local sanitation needs and challenges. Post-assessment we design end-to-end FSM systems for our city partners. The construction and operation of treatment plants are customised for their location, with technical specifications derived from the baseline study. Our system solutions include policy frameworks for local authorities with stage-based implementation, FSTP operating policies, and streamlined transportation of septage from septic tanks or pits. We also support local authorities and state governments in the bidding and selection process, prepare bid documents and processes, and evaluate bidders. From start to finish, our service is designed to ensure that our city partners achieve their sanitation goals.

The eArThAuger

USA Chuck Henry (+1) 2067551394 / [email protected] www.earthauger.org

The EarthAuger is a hybrid sanitation system: a urine diverting dry toilet (UDDT) and a composting toilet. It requires no water (nor pollutes any water); it requires no electricity, it has little odor or flies; it can be used in difficult situations like areas prone to flooding, shallow groundwater, or unstable ground; it produces two usable end products: compost (for improving soils) and urine (a great liquid fertilizer); and it’s easy to use, maintain and fix.

The EarthAuger is supplied as a pre-manufactured kit including the injection molded user interface (pedestal or squat) with all auger and pipe components. As with a conventional flush toilet, this can be installed in a vast variety of housings (from brick built houses to bamboo shelters and everything in-between) provided there is an outside wall for the pipe to exit through. Kit assembly and installation within the housing of choice can be conducted by our team or we can provide instructional assistance to guide you through the process. The compost collection container and urine collection container or fertigation pipe system can be provided but are better sourced locally to ensure compatibility with installation requirements.

National Faecal Sludge and Septage Management Alliance (NFSSM Alliance):

A national working group was convened in January 2016 with the support of the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation with the mandate to build consensus around and drive the discourse on Faecal sludge and Septage Management (FSSM) forward, nationally. The alliance currently comprises of 24 organizations across the country working towards solutions for India States and Cities. The Alliance members meet every month to track the progress and also to derive various actions towards main streaming of FSSM. The NFSSM Alliance works on all aspects from City Sanitation Plans to Regulatory and institutional frameworks across the sanitation value chain. In September 2016, The NFSSM Alliance working in close collaboration with the Ministry of Urban Development helped to design a National Declaration for a national goal on FSSM and a convergence of all urban development schemes. This declaration was signed by Mission Directors, The Secretary and by 100 plus cities. Also, the Alliance has extended its support to the Ministry of Urban Development for a “Primer and Rapid Assessment Tool for FSSM budgeting by the Urban Local bodies”. The NFSSM Alliance will continue to work towards promoting the FSSM agenda and sustainable sanitation for all.

India Sanitation Coalition (ISC):

India Sanitation Coalition (ISC) was formed with the objective of bringing all stakeholders in the sanitation field onto one platform where they can share information, learn from others, partner and collaborate. Today, the ISC has NGOs, donors, corporates, foundations, trusts and government as partners, working together to create a larger impact, rather than each one working in their vertical.

The study materials, research studies and various products developed by the NFSSM Alliance members will be displayed at the FSM4 exhibition.

Population Services International (PSI) believes in the power of markets to deliver sanitation and faecal sludge management products and services. Through a Market Development Approach (MDA), PSI identifies market failures, their root causes and then determines the most appropriate interventions needed to improve demand and supply and create an enabling environment to create a healthy sanitation market. The Sanitation projects has been successful in utilizing this approach to improve sanitation in Bihar, India. Through experimentation with the different business models, iteration of toilet designs and adaption to emerging market conditions, the sanitation projects have been able to secure sanitation for over 115,000 households and treat nearly 6 million liters of faecal sludge. Essentially we hope to showcase the steps we took to achieve a successful sanitation market in Bihar, India and showcase sanitation projects as a case study for a successful use of MDA.

SNV’s Urban Sanitation & Hygiene for Health and Development product addresses the reality that for the vast majority of cities and towns in developing countries, wastewater and human waste end up untreated back in the living environment. Our work includes the setting-up of facilities and services for waste management through collaboration between the public and private sectors and communities.

Our starting point is the recognition that the majority of cities and small towns in the developing world are non-sewered, or have predominantly on-site sanitation facilities. We work with city authorities to develop business and financial models to address coverage, services and treatment needs, linking where possible to reuse. We work on city-wide coverage, with specific models for vulnerable areas, and include health and safety, regulation and enforcement issues.

With backing from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and UK DFID, the Demonstration of Pro-poor Market-based Solutions for Faecal Sludge Management in Urban Centres of Southern Bangladesh project is piloting new strategies for faecal sludge management in Southern Bangladesh (Khulna, Kushtia and Jhenaidah). The 4-year project aims to improve the living environment of more than 1 million people. By developing faecal sludge management services, the project aims to reform human waste management, building government capacity to develop and implement FSM services and policy, and increase the productivity and protect the health and dignity of people working in this vital sector.

The main objective of the project is to demonstrate a city-wide, pro-poor, accountable, safe and sustainable faecal sludge management (FSM) services for the urban context in Bangladesh, showing improvement in the living environment and contributing to the

health and well-being of the urban population. The most significant results from this project will be:

• 250,000 additional people (approx. 57,000 households) will have access to improved sanitation facilities (environmentally safe)

•1 million people (approx. 240,000 households) will have an improved living environment and access to FSM services

•Sector stakeholders, including local authorities from at least two cities or towns, agreed to replicate key elements of the approach for FSM

The project has developed, tested and demonstrated city-wide sanitation service delivery models for urban centres in Bangladesh directly improving environmental health and well-being of the population. The project has also demonstrated how integration of business models contributes to achieve city wide delivery faster and how to ensure sanitation solutions are inclusive, benefitting poor households and workers and not only wealthier neighbours.

Delhi generates about 900 million gallons of sewage per day of which only 400 MGD reaches sewage treatment plants (STPs) having maximum installed capacity of treating 604 MGD. Thus, almost 60% of untreated sewage is dumped into Yamuna, translating into more than 500 million gallons per day (MGD). The FSM-4 exhibition showcases the extent of human waste management problem in Delhi.

a) Mobile Faecal sludge treatment unit

The on-site mobile treatment unit works with the concept of solid-liquid separation, sludge thickening and effluent treatment process. While the liquid is separated from the solid, the effluent passes through the membrane treatment process and disposes the treated water. The treated water meets the established pollution control norms for wastewater disposal. Both BOD and coliform values are within the Pollution Control board norms. The sludge thickening process helps further in reducing the moisture content in the sludge. The total cost of each mobile treatment unit is much lower than the septage emptying trucks used by the private operators. This mobile unit is easy to operate and it’s operational & maintenance cost is also at lower side.

In general, the septage consists of higher percentage of liquid than solid and most of the truck operators have to carry the entire septage (solid & liquid). This puts extra burden on transportation and

treatment facilities. The mobile treatment unit helps to get rid of the extra load (effluent) at the source and creates an opportunity to transport more sludge load (solid) in less trips. This will bring down the truck operational cost especially fuel cost and maximize the profit. If the truck operators pass on this benefit to the customers, then the customers will have to pay less for desludging services. Secondly, the treatment facilities will also benefit due to less load.

b) Compact septage treatment unit

This compact septage treatment unit is meant for treatment of liquid effluent on household septic tanks, on daily basis. The treatment capacity is 25 litres/hour. The advantage of using this unit is it can extend the life of septic tank. This treated unit can also be used in leach pits also.

Ongoing research on above-mentioned products is being supported by Population Services International (PSI).
