This seminar includes two sessions covering all aspects of faecal sludge management (FSM)
Time & Room
Wednesday 14:00-17:30 Room K22/23Technologies for energy recovery
Technologies for energy recovery from faecal sludge will be presented, including combustion, co-digestion, gasification, and fertilizer production. Financially viable business models for energy and nutrient recovery and sanitation entrepreneurship will be presented. This session will showcase innovations from WSP, Sandec, and BMGF funded case studies, and examples from the forthcoming IWA publication - Faecal Sludge Management: Systems Approach for Implementation and Operation.
Management and planning tools
Examples of tools will include assessment of institutional models for service delivery, and the relationship between these models, current practice, and business profitability. Preliminary results will be presented from Diagnostics and Guidelines for Fecal Sludge Management in Poor Urban Areas, a WSP/WB study, and from the BMGF case studies. Panel Discussion — example questions: -FSM as a utility service? -Resource recovery as a financial driver for sanitation service delivery? -Revenue from energy recovery compared to other end uses? compared to wastewater and urine? -PPP and regulatory models that promote energy recovery and sanitation businesses?
