Resource Recovery from Faecal Sludge

About the training 

Faecal Sludge Management (FSM) is an evolving field with continual development and improvement happening in research methodologies. The research on resource recovery from faecal sludge is actively taking place worldwide. Resource recovery from faecal sludge can take many forms, including as a fuel, soil amendment, compost, building material, protein, animal fodder, and water for irrigation.This course focuses on some of the recent advances in laboratory analysis ofphyisco-chemical and biological parameters of co-compost, bio-char and dry faecal sludge. This training is part of the Centre for Science and Environment and Bill Melinda Gates Foundation collaboration on FSM in India. In-house experts and lab scientists from CSE’s Environment Monitoring Laboratory (EML) will guide participants through the sessions and help them learn lab analysis using state-of-the-art equipment and methods. The hands-on approach for the program means that participants get to perform the lab experiments on their own and can enhance their skills while working on some of the best equipment and protocols in their class. The training will be held in CSE’s residential campus in Nimli, near Alwar, Rajasthan.
