Management of sludge is one of the most pressing issues in sanitation provision. The situation is especially complex when large quantities of fresh sludge containing various contaminants are generated in onsite sanitation systems in urban slums, emergency settlements and wastewater treatment facilities that require proper disposal of the sludge. The application of fast and efficient sludge management methods is important under these conditions.
This study focused on the development of an innovative sludge treatment unit that is based on the microwave irradiation technology. The technology provides a rapid and efficient option for sludge treatment in isolated conditions such as slum, emergency, and similar situations. The microwave based technology forms part of the eSOS (emergency sanitation operation system) concept that promotes an integrated sanitation approach in which all components of the entire sanitation chain are planned holistically. Besides, the study addresses the deficiencies associated with the poor choice of emergency sanitation technology options by proposing a methodology that is based on compensatory multi-criteria analysis.
This study contributes in providing solutions towards improved sanitation in complex scenarios, especially the management of faecal sludge in emergency and slum conditions.
Peter Matuku Mawioo, a Sanitary Engineer, was born in 1979 in Kitui County, Kenya. He obtained his MSc. in Municipal Water and Infrastructure; specialization in Sanitary Engineering from IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, Delft, the Netherlands in 2010. Peter obtained his BSc degree from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering; specialization in Water and Environmental Engineering from Egerton University, Kenya in 2006. He is currently employed as a Lecturer in Public Health Engineering in the Department of Civil and Structural Engineering at the University of Eldoret (UoE), Kenya. Peter carried out his PhD studies in Sanitary Engineering at Delft University of Technology, Delft and IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, Delft, The Netherlands between 2011 and 2017. His PhD research topic focusses on the development and improvement of sanitation technologies for application in isolated cases such as the slum, emergency, and similar situations. Peter’s research interests include biological wastewater treatment, membrane bioreactors, wastewater reuse, non-sewered sanitation, and innovative scientific environmental technologies.
