Robust Decentralised Low Energy Faecal Sludge Dewatering leading to Sustainable Energy Resource, Sanitation ,and Clean Water
Lead Participant:
NATURAL SYNERGIES LIMITED
Abstract
Natural 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.
