132711Robust Decentralised Low Energy Faecal Sludge Dewatering leading to Sustainable Energy Resource, Sanitation ,and Clean WaterClosedFeasibility StudiesInnovate UKNatural Synergies (NS) together with partners University of Strathclyde, Practical Action and Blue Vine Consultants are involved in a project that concerns faecal sludge dewatering/treatment leading to energy security/generation, sanitation utilising locally available resource and GHG emission savings. NS aims in this technical/financial feasibility study is to develop stand-alone dewatering process for rural UK/EU, increasing energy efficiency/generation, reducing transport costs/carbon footprint and in developing countries (DC) as a low cost faecal sludge management using for decentralised/localised sanitation and in both cases leading to an integrated AD based off-grid energy generation, localised sanitation with clean pathogen free water and sustainable fertiliser. The system once developed will aim at reducing cost of water treatment in UK/EU for savings to be passed on to the end-user; whilst in DC it will encourage creation of an entrepreneurial partnership, womens empowerment and security in the overall FSM supply chain and towards non-specialised component manufacture if possible using local industries leading to job creation in the UK/EU and in DC.
