This study proposes an innovative approach to utilizing fecal sludge for the production of bio-asphalt through Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL). It explores how waste materials, combined with natural clay catalysts, can be converted into bio-asphalt.

This study focuses on sludge treatment as well as end-use potential to prevent pollution, protect public health, and ensure a circular economy. Researchers explore the potential of Co-composting as a low-cost, green technology for fecal sludge management.

This research provides insights into the environmental compatibility and optimal ratio of a fecal sludge-liming sludge mixture for composting, comparing the properties of the final compost with those of industrial-grade fertilizers.

The CWIS Action Plan (CAP) uses the ABCD-IME approach, focusing on awareness, planning, and implementation while ensuring responsibility, accountability, and resource management for effective sanitation services.

Sewage sludge, with its high water content, consists of settled sewage solids. The solid content of most sewage sludges typically ranges from 1.2 to 4.5 percent. Dewatering sewage sludges is essential to reduce volume for easier handling, subsequent treatment, and safe disposal. Notably, the cost of sludge treatment and disposal accounts for nearly half of sewage treatment costs. In the past, cities used to load sludge on barges and dispose of it in the high seas, but strict maritime laws now prohibit such discharge. As a result, proper sludge treatment and safe disposal have become crucial for achieving sustainable development goals in sanitation.

ITN-BUET undertook this research to evaluate the post-installation performance of household RWH systems in the southwestern coastal region of Bangladesh. The objective is to pinpoint essential factors governing the long-term effectiveness of the system.

This case book is a compilation of stories to inspire other city authorities to promote FSM in their cities.

This report shows findings regarding the conditions of waste and sanitation workers and authorities in maintaining occupational health safety, especially during COVID-19.

ITN-BUET conducted this action research to assess the overall performance of FSM services in Paurashavas (Municipalities), where FSM service has been operational for a few years.

Urban areas of Bangladesh are facing an ironical situation today. On one hand there is the acute water scarcity and on the other, the streets are often …
