20. Dry composting toilet. 

 

Consult the document 09.36 Use of urine and faeces as fertiliser  Ecosan M4-7 : Agricultural aspects ;  Gnanakan K., Heeb J.,  Jenssen P. ;  Seecon, GTZ et al,  Eschborn, 2006.

 

Fertiliser : recycling urine and faeces : per person per year (500 litres being 400 litres urine; 100 litres faeces) of which 5.7kg N, 0.6kg P, and 1.2 kg K. Enough for  230kg of cereals per person per year.

 

For 50.000 persons : 285.000 kg N (or 285 tons) ; 30.000 kg P (or 30 tons) ; and 60.000 kg K (or  60 tons). Enough for 11.500.000 kg (or 11.500 tons) of cereals.

 

Prices  8/2008 : fertilisers based on N = € 300/ton x 285 = Euro 85.500 ; based on P = € 820/ton x 30 = € 24.600 ; based on K = €330/ton x 60 = €19.800.

Total value per project area = € 129.900/year.

 

Local production of fertiliser through the recycling of urine and faeces is enough for the production of most of the foodstuffs necessary for the inhabitants, with a varied diet. All risk of contamination of surface waters, artesian waters, and soil  is avoided. The need to transport large quantities of materials over large distances is avoided.
