Fecal sludge is defined very broadly as what accumulates in onsite sanitation technologies and specifically is not transported through a sewer.It is composed of human excreta, but also anything else that may go into an onsite containment technology, such as flushwater, cleansing materials and menstrual hygiene products, grey water (i.e. bathing or kitchen water, including fats, oils and grease ...
Dried sewage sludge can be burned in sludge incineration plants and generate heat and electricity (the waste-to-energy process is one example). Resource recovery of fecal sludge as a solid fuel has been found to have high market potential in Sub-Saharan Africa .
Omni Processor pilot plant by Sedron Technologies treating fecal sludge in Dakar, Senegal. Omni processor is a term coined in 2012 by staff of the Water, Sanitation, Hygiene Program of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation [1] to describe a range of physical, biological or chemical treatments to remove pathogens from human-generated fecal sludge, while simultaneously creating commercially ...
Fecal sludge management (FSM) (or faecal sludge management in British English) is the storage, collection, transport, treatment and safe end use or disposal of fecal sludge. [34] Together, the collection, transport, treatment and end use of fecal sludge constitute the "value chain" or "service chain" of fecal sludge management.
Anaerobic digesters for sewage sludge treatment at Arrudas Treatment Plant, Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Anaerobic digestion is a bacterial process that is carried out in the absence of oxygen. The process can either be thermophilic digestion , in which sludge is fermented in tanks at a temperature of 55 °C, or mesophilic , at a temperature of ...

Aerobic digestion is a process in sewage treatment designed to reduce the volume of sewage sludge and make it suitable [1] for subsequent use. [2] More recently, technology has been developed that allows the treatment and reduction of other [3] organic waste, such as food, cardboard and horticultural waste. It is a bacterial process occurring ...
Ecosan concept showing a separation of flow streams, treatment and reuse; 2014 illustration. Ecological sanitation, commonly abbreviated as ecosan (also spelled eco-san or EcoSan), is an approach to sanitation provision which aims to safely reuse excreta in agriculture. [1]
