Biosanitizer Ecotechnology
An odorless self-flushing public toilet was constructed by the Green Cross Society in the premises of Versova Municipal Sewage Pumping Station, in Andheri(W), Mumbai 400 053. Here there is no water connection inside the toilets. People carry 1-2 liters of water for defecation, the thick sewage slurry gets treated in 2 horizontal shallow reactors using the BIOSANITIZER and planted filter. Clean water produced is pumped to the overhead tank that feeds the continuous flushing system. The system has demonstrated how man and plant ecology can co-exist without producing any worry of odor-pathogens-and-pests. All this is achieved without any water connection to the toilet and there is no sewage flow away from the toilet. In fact, sewage is treated to produce water for flushing. There are no recurring expenses on treatment. There is no use of machinery and electricity, for sewage treatment. There is also no production of sludge and greenhouse gases such as methane or carbon dioxide. In fact, the treated sewage is a resource for ecosanitation. It acts as a plant tonic and its spray also is able to control odor, pathogens and pests. This is an ecological alternative to use of toxic chemicals in the field of agriculture and sanitation. We have to discontinue the use of toxic chemicals because they end up poisoning the whole biosphere. Increasing incidence of cancer in man is linked to widespread use of these carcinogens.
