Robust Decentralised Low Energy Faecal Sludge Dewatering leading to Sustainable Energy Resource, Sanitation ,and Clean Water

Natural Synergies （NS）与合作伙伴斯特拉斯克莱德大学（University of Strathclyde）、Practical Action和Blue VineConsultants共同参与了一个项目，该项目涉及粪泥脱水/处理，从而实现能源安全/发电、利用当地可用资源的卫生设施和减少温室气体排放。NS在这项技术/财务可行性研究中的目标是为英国/欧盟农村地区开发独立的脱水工艺，提高能源效率/发电，降低运输成本/碳足迹，并在发展中国家（DC）作为低成本的粪便污泥管理，用于分散/本地化的卫生设施，在这两种情况下，都将导致基于AD的一体化离网能源发电，使用清洁无病原体水和可持续肥料的本地化卫生设施。该系统一旦开发，将旨在降低英国/欧盟的水处理成本，从而将节省的费用传递给最终用户；而在华盛顿，它将鼓励在整个FSM供应链中建立创业伙伴关系，妇女赋权和安全，并在可能的情况下利用当地工业向非专业组件制造发展，从而在英国/欧盟和华盛顿创造就业机会。

Natural Synergies (NS) together with partners University of Strathclyde, Practical Action and Blue VineConsultants are involved in a project that concerns faecal sludge dewatering/treatment leading to energysecurity/generation, sanitation utilising locally available resource and GHG emission savings. NS aims in thistechnical/financial feasibility study is to develop stand-alone dewatering process for rural UK/EU, increasingenergy efficiency/generation, reducing transport costs/carbon footprint and in developing countries (DC) as alow cost faecal sludge management using for decentralised/localised sanitation and in both cases leading to anintegrated AD based off-grid energy generation, localised sanitation with clean pathogen free water andsustainable fertiliser. The system once developed will aim at reducing cost of water treatment in UK/EU forsavings to be passed on to the end-user; whilst in DC it will encourage creation of an entrepreneurialpartnership, womens empowerment and security in the overall FSM supply chain and towards non-specialisedcomponent manufacture if possible using local industries leading to job creation in the UK/EU and in DC.
