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

Natural Synergies（NS）与合作伙伴University of Strathclyde、Practical Action和Blue VineConsultants一起参与了一个项目，该项目涉及粪便污泥脱水/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温室气体减排。NS在本技术/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/发电量，降低运输成本/碳足迹，并在发展中国家（DC）作为低成本粪便污泥管理用于分散/本地化卫生设施，在这两种情况下，导致基于集成AD的离网能源发电，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，将旨在降低联合王国/欧盟的水处理成本，将节省的费用转嫁给最终用户;而在哥伦比亚，它将鼓励在整个密克罗尼西亚联邦供应链中建立一种伙伴关系，赋予妇女权力和安全，并在可能的情况下利用当地工业进行非专业化部件制造，从而在联合王国/欧盟和哥伦比亚创造就业机会。

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-specialised component manufacture if possible using local industries leading to job creation in the UK/EU and in DC.
