Sustainable Community Sanitation for a Rural Hospital in Haiti

Sustainable Community Sanitation for a Rural Hospital in Haiti

A fully sustainable sanitation system was developed for a rural hospital in Haiti. The system operates by converting human waste into biogas and fertilizer without using external energy. It is a hybrid anaerobic/aerobic system that maximizes methane production while producing quality compost. The sy...
