Download or read book Faecal Sludge Management written by Linda Strande and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is estimated that literally billions of residents in urban and peri-urban areas of Africa, Asia, and Latin America are served by onsite sanitation systems (e.g. various types of latrines and septic tanks). Until recently, the management of faecal sludge from these onsite systems has been grossly neglected, partially as a result of them being considered temporary solutions until sewer-based systems could be implemented. However, the perception of onsite or decentralized sanitation technologies for urban areas is gradually changing, and is increasingly being considered as long-term, sustainable options in urban areas, especially in low- and middle-income countries that lack sewer infrastructures. This is the first book dedicated to faecal sludge management. It compiles the current state of knowledge of the rapidly evolving field of faecal sludge management, and presents an integrated approach that includes technology, management, and planning based on Sandecs 20 years of experience in the field. Faecal Sludge Management: Systems Approach for Implementation and Operation addresses the organization of the entire faecal sludge management service chain, from the collection and transport of sludge, and the current state of knowledge of treatment options, to the final end use or disposal of treated sludge. The book also presents important factors to consider when evaluating and upscaling new treatment technology options. The book is designed for undergraduate and graduate students, and engineers and practitioners in the field who have some basic knowledge of environmental and/or wastewater engineering.

Download or read book Gestion des Boues de Vidange written by Linda Strande and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-15 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plus d'un milliard de personnes dans les zones urbaines et périurbaines d'Afrique, d'Asie et d'Amérique latine sont desservies par des dispositifs d'assainissement à la parcelle. La gestion des boues extraites de ces dispositifs, les « boues de vidange », a été jusqu'à présent grandement négligée. Les ressources financières sont souvent insuffisantes et les dispositifs d'assainissement à la parcelle ont tendance à être considérés comme des solutions temporaires, dan l'attente de la mise en place de réseaux d'égouts. Cependant , force est de constater que l'assainissement à la parcelle est là pour durer, soit en tant que solution autonome permanente, soit en association avec des systèmes égouts-station. La gestion adéquate des boues de vidange issues des dispositifs d'assainissement des ménages est un impératif pour la protection de Ia santé humaine et de l'environnement. Cet ouvrage est le premier à être consacré à la gestion des boues de vidange. II rassemble l'état actuel des connaissances de ce domaine qui évolue rapidement, et propose une approche intégrée qui lie les composantes technologiques, organisationnelles et de planification. II aborde la planification et l'organisation de l'ensemble de la filière de gestion des boues de vidange depuis la collecte et l'évacuation des boues jusqu'aux solutions de traitement et à l'utilisation finale ou la mise en dépôt des boues traitées. En plus de fournir des éléments fondamentaux sur le traitement et une description des technologies existantes, l'ouvrage présente en détail les aspects opérationnels, institutionnels et financiers. II propose également une méthode de planification d'un projet de gestion des boues de vidange à l'échelle d'une ville avec l'ensemble des parties prenantes.

Download or read book How to Design Wastewater Systems for Local Conditions in Developing Countries written by David M. Robbins and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-15 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a practical handbook providing a step-by-step approach to the techniques used for characterizing wastewater sources and investigating sites where collection, treatment and reuse/disposal technologies will be installed. It is intended to help enable local implementation of on-site and decentralized wastewater management system (DWMS)for wide scale use in development settings. How to Design Wastewater Systems for Local Conditions in Developing Countries helps local service providers and regulatory officials make informed decisions through the use of tools, checklists and case studies. It includes a link to a web based community of on-site and decentralized wastewater professionals, which contains related tools and case studies. This handbook serves as a reference for training classes, certification programs, and higher education programs in civil and sanitary engineering. There is an increasing interest on the part of local government officials and private sector service providers to implement wastewater treatment systems to solve sanitation problems. The model presented in this handbook promotes activities that first generate data related to source and site conditions that represent critical inputs, and then applies this information to the technology selection process. Matching the most appropriate technologies to the specific needs of the wastewater project is the key that leads to long term sustainability. How to Design Wastewater Systems for Local Conditions in Developing Countries is an invaluable resource for public sector decision makers and private sector service providers in developing countries. It is also a useful text for students at engineering colleges in developing countries interested in taking a class that teaches the methods of decentralized wastewater management system (DWMS) development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1993 regulation (Part 503 Rule) governing the land application of biosolids was established to protect public health and the environment from reasonably anticipated adverse effects. Included in the regulation are chemical pollutant limits, operational standards designed to reduce pathogens and the attraction of disease vectors, and management practices. This report from the Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology evaluates the technical methods and approaches used by EPA to establish those standards and practices, focusing specifically on human health protection. The report examines improvements in risk-assessment practices and advances in the scientific database since promulgation of the regulation, and makes recommendations for addressing public health concerns, uncertainties, and data gaps about the technical basis of the biosolids standards.

This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The guidelines presented in this document apply to compost produced from municipal solid waste (MSW) or other feedstock as determined by regulatory agencies. The objectives of the guidelines are to: protect public health and the environment; encourage source separation of MSW to produce a high quality compost product; produce compost standards that are fairly consistent across Canada while accommodating different interests and issues; ensure consumer confidence; and ensure that composting develops as an important waste or resource management solution and an environmentally sound industry. The guidelines are based on the following criteria for product safety and quality: foreign matter, maturity, pathogens, and trace elements. The guidelines attempt to integrate the concept that exposure is an integral part of risk by establishing two grades (unrestricted and restricted) of material.
