VUNA - Nutrient harvesting in South Africa
Research
Research
1. Reactor Technology
|
|
Eawag will develop new processes for urine treatment with the support of the University of KwaZulu-Natal: |
2. Network Management
|
|
To collect and transport urine from the households to the treatment sites, appropriate collection systems will be established. Field data and computer simulations will be used to determine the number and performance of reactors required to recover the most nutrients at the lowest costs: |
3. Socio-Economic Opportunities
|
|
Financial incentives based on the fertilizer value of
urine will be tested to promote the use of urine-diverting dry toilets.
In social studies, the acceptance of the new system by the users will be
evaluated. |
