[USCC] Processing human manure

[Lowell Prag]

Hello Neal,

A couple of questions:

After the fly larvae break down the waste,
for what is the 5% residue useful?

Why isn't this concept widely used to solve the problems associated
with concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs)?

Regards,

Lowell Prag

We have had some significant success in SE Asia and now Africa in
establishing buying stations for larvae that have been raised on human
manure.  This
goes along very well with our program to purchase the source separated
organics
of our client cities.  Rather than charge a tipping fee or a MSW
collection
fee, we are purchasing the organic matter that constitutes the  majority
of the
municipal solid waste.  While this is being done only in a  few cities
currently it has demonstrated the effectiveness of the model,  especially
for
developing countries.

By using a specially designed toilet for human sanitation in rural and
urban
areas we can facilitate the processing of human manure by Hermetia
illucens
(Black Soldier Fly larvae).  In SE Asia the market for the fresh  larvae
is
robust enough in our test areas to stimulate the implementation of the
toilets
on a rather large scale. This is having a positive effect on the waste
disposal issues and benefiting the economics of those families
participating in  the
demonstration.

The most advanced demonstrations are being conducted by Dr. Paul Olivier
in
Vietnam.
