Technical Details (ECOSAN)





The basic design is shown in this picture. Some of the important elements of the design are:

1. The compost toilet should be constructed above ground level.

2. The base of entire toilet should be cemented and made impervious.

3. Separate areas for collection and outlets for urine, wash, and faecus. The urine hole in both chambers should be connected by a pipe and led into the pot with holes. The wastewater in each chamber should be connected by a pipe separately and collected in a filter bed.

4. A vent pipe should be provided at the junction of the separation wall of the two compost cha
mbers to remove the air and gas inside the compost chamber to prevent foul smell inside the toilet. It will quicken the process of the dehydration.

5. The cowl of the vent pipe should be covered with a mosquito net.

6 The door will be fixed 1/2 above the flooring and 1' belowthe roof, to ensure air circulation.
