Initial preparation for Septage Pumping

A trial septage extraction from the Agri Tour building at the Salikneta Farm was conducted wherein a submersible pump is submerged to the building’s septic tank. The pump was then connected to blue pipes in order to flow the septage from the septic tank to the 200 liters plastic storage drums. The storage drums are then transported to the reactor site. 

 

The sewage will be used for the production of struvite.
