The protocol also provides a step-by-step guide for laboratory users to conduct tests on different types of fecal sludge, such as liquid, solid, and slurry.
The main goal of setting up a "Reference Fecal Sludge Testing Laboratory" in the country hosting at BUET, having a variety of facilities to carry out various FS tests (including effluent and sludge), and providing its services to the recipients.
