• Collection of all solid fractions for biogas and application of the sludge in<br />
agriculture<br />
The described solutions are most suitable for new building, since buildings as<br />
well as collection, treatment and disposal systems can be organised in a proper<br />
manner.<br />
The current legislation gives a possibility for wide ecological application of<br />
waste products, with consideration of both health and environmental aspects.<br />
Before implementation of large-scale systems, a number of specific studies<br />
should be conducted. Furthermore, the possibilities and barriers in connection<br />
with an extended use of recirculation of nutrients should be analysed. This<br />
analysis should also include an evaluation of socio-economy, sociological<br />
studies, theoretical market potential for the products and demands for the<br />
ultimate users, i.e. farmers, gardeners and the purchasers of their products,<br />
such as milk producers, food industry and individual consumers.<br />
Project results<br />
Some of the 12 systems are suitable for development whereas others cannot<br />
be recommended<br />
12 specific solutions are described schematically, including experience from<br />
construction and operation, hygiene and health, energy consumption,<br />
recirculation potential, economy, area requirements, efforts required from<br />
citizens, and possibilities/barriers. This project concludes that:<br />
• wet composting is not an attractive solution. Similar and more simple<br />
solutions exist which provide a better use of the waste products,<br />
• local composting and application of faeces should not be applied in urban<br />
areas due to, amongst others, health risks and the present technological<br />
stage,<br />
• collection of urine/traditional handling of the remaining waste provides<br />
increased recirculation with a simple/well-known system,<br />
• biogasification of everything but grey water is most suitable for increased<br />
recirculation of nutrients and use of waste products as a resource.<br />
Summarised evaluation of the actual technological stage<br />
• All systems described include techniques and components that were<br />
neither fully developed nor sufficiently examined. These techniques<br />
and components should be developed to be more sturdy, reliable and<br />
maintainable.<br />
• The systems with local handling of waste products are more sensitive<br />
towards undisciplined users, which might result in hygienic problems<br />
locally and complicate further processing.<br />
• For part of the systems described, only limited experience is available<br />
from traditional residential areas. However, much experience is<br />
available on the use of the different components in ecological building<br />
areas and house sharing established by persons with a fundamental<br />
ecological attitude.<br />
