Optimization of Fecal Sludge Transport in Camp 18 of the Cox's Bazar Refugee Camp

Sanitation planning and management is a complex problem, especially in emergency contexts such as refugee camps. Camp 18 of the Cox’s Bazar refugee camp has over 27 000 inhabitants, who have access to 1931 latrines from which the sludge is treated in a cen ...

Modelling quantities and qualities (Q&Q) of faecal sludge in Hanoi, Vietnam and Kampala, Uganda for improved management solutions

Linda Strande, Magalie Diane Bassan, Amédé Ferré

The importance of faecal sludge management is gaining recognition. However, methods are still lacking to reasonably estimate the quantities and qualities (Q&Q) that need to be managed, which makes the planning for and implementing of management solutions q ...

A combined hydrothermal gasification - solid oxide fuel cell system for sustainable production of algal biomass and energy

François Maréchal, Jan Van Herle, Christian Ludwig, Shivom Sharma, Hossein Madi

Hydrothermal gasification (HTG) is a promising technology that allows the recovery of nutrients from wet biomass with simultaneous production of an energy-rich gas. In this work, wastewater effluent (leachate) obtained from a composter sanitary system oper ...

Ammonia as an in-situ sanitizer: inactivation kinetics and mechanisms of the ssRNA virus MS2 by NH3

Tamar Kohn, Loïc Decrey, Shinobu Kazama, Kai Udert

Sanitizing human and animal waste (e.g., urine, fecal sludge or grey water) is a critical step in reducing the spread of disease and ensuring microbially safe reuse of waste materials. Viruses are particularly persistent pathogens and can be transmitted th ...

Virus inactivation mechanisms in human urine and fecal sludge

Loïc Decrey

Water, sanitation and hygiene interventions are among the most significant health interventions addressing the worldwide burden of diarrheal disease and environmental enteropathy. Sanitizing human excreta and animal manure (HEAM) is a critical step in redu ...

Influence of Temperature, VFA and pH on the inactivation of pathogens in anaerobic digestion of faecel sludge

Livia Jost

On-site sanitation technologies such as septic tanks are widely used in low- and middle-income countries. A comprehensive management of the accumulating faecal sludge (FS) is however missing in most contexts and uncontrolled disposal of FS results in serio ...

Assessment of the impacts of local conditions and sampling methods on the characteristics of faecal sludge

Amédé Ferré

Since 1990, almost 1.9 billion people have gained access to an improved sanitation facility, while 2.6 billion people still live without access to improved sanitation. In urban areas of low- and middle-income countries, the majority of household rely on on ...

Selecting appropriate treatment technologies for faecal sludge (FS) from onsite sanitation systems

Christof Holliger, Viet Anh Nguyen, Linda Strande, Magalie Diane Bassan

Context Worldwide: FS production much larger than treated volumes In Vietnam: • Urban households required to own septic tanks • Combined onsite and centralized sanitation • FS emptying frequency up to 10 years or more Negligible FS volumes treated before d ...

Rainfall mediations in the spreading of epidemic cholera

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Lorenzo Righetto, Marino Gatto

Following the empirical evidence of a clear correlation between rainfall events and cholera resurgence that was observed in particular during the recent outbreak in Haiti, a spatially explicit model of epidemic cholera is re-examined. Specifically, we test ...

Constant-yield control of continuous bioreactors

Georgios Savoglidis

The process of anaerobic digestion is a common application in the treatment of industrial and communal wastewater treatment plants. The biochemical reactions taking place inside the fermenter can be described by a system of first order differential equatio ...
