Incentivizing Sanitation with Biogas in Haiti The University of Maryland will test a technological solution to two critical needs in Haiti – the need for effective wastewater treatment to help curb the cholera epidemic, and the need for decentralized, low-cost energy sources.
Anaerobic Digestion Design for Cange, Haiti
Based on the results of the biogas potentials of source-separated wastewater, a digestion system was designed that uses black water from the external clinic to fill a tipping bucket, which flushes a latrine raceway into a three-cell digestion system with wetland/trickling filter post-treatment system
