Research activities on decentralized system An interdisciplinary research project on Sustainable Sanitation Six years project from 2002 to 2007 With 6 research groups from ten organization from Japan, China and Indonesia With four million US$ research budget from Japan Science and Technology Agency 7
Goals of our project are Developing ONSITE WASTEWATER DIFFERENTIABLE TREATMENT SYSTEM Proposing Japan Model for sustainable sanitation system Proposing tactics for implementation of this system to the developing countries in Asia to achieve the MDGs 8
9 ONSITE WASTEWATER DIFFERENTIABLE TREATMENT SYSTEM Don t collect Composting Toilet Feces, Urine, Garbage Compost Agriculture House KS & WM Treatment Don t Mix Bath & WB Rain Water Ground and/or Surface water Soil System Lopez Zavala and Funamizu: Water Science and Technology Vol.46, No.6-7, pp.317-324 (2002)
10 Benefits Separating black water gives Recovery and recycle of nutrients Elimination of micro-pollutants in urine Elimination of sources of pathogens Reduction of wastewater flow Conservation of water resources On-site treatment gives No requirement of pipes The system creates Material cycle (organic matter and nutrients) New social system such as M&O NPO or company.

Composting Toilet Air circulation Exhaust pipe Exhausted air Fan Aerobic fermentation system No special bacteria and chemicals are used at all. Mixing Device Sawdust plays important role as an artificial soil matrix. Aerobic fermentation is performed effectively by mixer and heating system. Sawdust Matrix Mixing mechanism 15
SAWDUST MATRIX: Key element of the composting reactor o Sawdust properties: High porosity High water and air retention High drainage Aerobic biodegradation (without odor) High tolerance bacterial Use of sawdust for long time 16 Low apparent density Biodegradability Energy saving when mixing Reuse as a fertilizer or soil conditioner
