ABSTRACT

Ingestion of foodby living beings brings out vital to life.  Excretion of both digested and undigested (faecal) matter is inevitable for all organisms to maintain healthiness on this planet earth. Danier Kimuli et al., (2016) revealed that the faecal sludge contain nutrients in the form of nitrates, total nitrogen, phosphates and potassium and also lipid content.  The resource i.e., biodiesel and or biogas, protein content can be recovered from this faecal sludge and the spent-out substance can be used as a soil amendment to enrich the soil (humus).  The main objective of the proposed research work is to recover these precious materials by using the suitable technology. In this direction an attempt has been made to collect the data to know the total faecal sludge quantity, type and content of our institution and also carried out the physico-chemical and microbiological characterization to set for the resource recovery to meet the UN’s sustainable developmental goals and also to become self sufficiency in renewable energy front. The details will be discussed in this presentation.
