Faecal sludge contains valuable plant nutrients and can be used as a fertiliser in agriculture, instead of being emitted as a pollutant. As this involves a risk of pathogen transmission, it is crucial to inactivate the pathogens in faecal sludge. One treatment alternative is ammonia sanitisation, as uncharged ammonia (NH₃) inactivates pathogens. The aim of this thesis was to study how the …

While at the beginning of the century, faecal matter was collected and sold to farmers as fertiliser, the gradual adoption of mains drainage had the direct effect of causing a lasting increase in pollution levels in the river.
This research focuses on this transition. It questions …
