ELEVEN FACTS ABOUT BIODIGESTER TOILETS YOU NEED TO KNOW
I started promoting this solution as far back as 2018. Here’s are true and interesting facts about the BIODIGESTER. Key points highlighted in bolded part below.
ELEVEN FACTS ABOUT BIO digester TOILETS YOU NEED TO KNOW

Biodigester toilets are biodegradable systems that turns solid waste into organic manure for a safe disposal into the environment.

These toilet waste digesters aim to address the liquid and solid waste water treatment issues associated with traditional means of waste water treatment methods that we have become accustomed to and grew up using.

Some of these methods included the use of pit latrine, ventilated pits (KVIP) and more modern waste treatment means like cesspit, culvert tanks and septic tanks.

What is different from these other toilet waste management systems?

Unlike the cesspit and septic tanks that requires periodic emptying, biofil waste toilet biodigesters as the name suggest are biodegradable and does not require emptying (dislodging) the way septic tanks require trucks to do that.

Before explaining how this is done, the biodigesters described in this article are NOT those that produce gas for domestic purposes.

Here are the Eleven facts about biodegradable digesters that you need to know:

FACT 1: Where does this solution come from? History of biodigester toilets

The history of biodigesters is not clear but they became prominent after the 2014 severe cholera outbreak in some parts of Accra.
The solution was first introduced to me in Nigeria by a Ghanaian friend.
The Ghana Government with the aid of the World Bank agreed that considering the sanitation situation especially in low income households in Accra, these biodegradable waste digesters from the test of the effluent level would avert the problems we have in the way human waste is managed traditionally in Accra and its environs.

The Government through the GAMA Project has since been constructing these digesters for home owners in low income areas. This technology has proven to be a better option than traditional foul smelling cesspits and septic tanks in Ghana and has since helped considerably in reducing the problems brought about by the lack of effective human waste management systems

FACT 2: How do bio digesters work?
Biodigesters eliminate toilet waste water odors by overpowering the natural occurring bacteria mostly found in septic tanks and manholes.
For example in biofil digesters, the waste water from the flush unit (water closets) is organically filtered through a porous slab, allowed to penetrate a small rock-filled soak hole from which it leaches into the soil.
In places where there are gutters, the black water is organically filtered out of the bottom of the digester and drained into them.
Bio degradable toilet waste digesters have established themselves as the modern day answer to KVIPS, pit latrine and septic tanks as toilet waste treatment systems.

FACT 3: Where does the waste water from a biodigester go?

Because biodigester toilets are used as part of the process of treating biodegradable toilet waste water and sewage sludge, the process often referred to as anaerobic digestion is adopted.
Natural composting organic manure are introduced to treats all organic biodegradable materials through the natural process of anaerobic decomposition.

Flushed water and solid waste enter at the top of the biodigester where IMMEDIATE separation of solids and liquid contents of the waste occurs.
All liquids will then be organically filtered out of the bottom of the digester and drained into the soil where further and final decomposition occurs.
Other solids (toilet rolls & all degradable cleaning materials) are decomposed and converted into rich & safe soil for easy disposal in the environment.
Now the final effluent (waste water) produced is a clear odorless liquid suitable for discharge either into a waste watercourse, through a customized soak hole trenches or a drain filled system or can simply be stored in a tank through enhanced filtration and the waste water can be reused to water flower plants flowers on your compound .

FACT 4: waste Water Soak Hole Pit Construction
We fill the bottom of the soak hole with a layer of rocks. With each rock about 3” in diameter.
The layer of large rocks will determine how many inches high they should be based on how the depth of the soak hole is going to be.

A typical construction of a soak hole must ensure that the bottom of the soak hole is 2’6” below the bottom of the leachate pipe hole to allow for easy filtration of the waste water into the digester.
The depth of the soak hole from the surface of the ground will depend on the water table for the toilet site.

FACT 5: What Becomes Of The Solid waste In A Biodigester?
Because the biodigester is a simple compact onsite organic waste treatment system, it provides an enclosed space where the activities of the self-perpetuating population of earthworms and micro-organisms are optimized and used together with porous or wire mesh filtration are used to facilitate the rapid solid-liquid separation as well as to serve as attachment site for the micro-organisms in addition to coconut fibre which is used as the bulking material.
It uses a biological filter consisting of a fiber, medium of black soil and in some cases porous concrete. The bacteria and other organisms generated through this technology then biodegrades solid waste.

FACT 6: Reasons why people choose bio digester toilets
The cost and pricing of biodigesters has become a tussle point for some homeowners interested in digester waste toilet construction. Even though some have claim they are too expensive, in comparison to septic tanks there’s no doubt they have become the choice for most homeowners in Ghana today.

FACT 7: Biodigesters cost less to construct (install)
It is cheaper to install biodigester (as compare to digging a manhole or buying culverts for septic sewage tanks). The land space needed, the material list needed for construction all goes to attest to their low pricing as compare to other waste management systems.
Even the idea of digging all those feet’s and doing all those concrete works makes biodigesters your best bet any day.
Installation of a bio waste digester plus a soak-hole pit can all be done in a day if precast slabs are used. Two days if blocks are used.
Except plumbing works, the cost of a bio digester toilet installation is inclusive in the total digester cost.

FACT 8: Biodigesters are the most eco friendly biodegradable technology
Biodigesters are the most environmentally safe and highly improved means of treating toilet waste water. The use of locally sourced materials means that they are safe for the environment.
There’s no need to apply any special chemicals.
They are easy to maintain and do not come at any additional cost to the homeowner.
Biodigester toilet tank designed for use as a waste water management option for homeowners.

FACT 9: No more dislodging
There have been some misconception about this saying.
But what we are simply saying is that, you don’t need a typical truck to show up saying they are there to empty your tank.
Because digesters uses anaerobic digestion process, solid waste after a cycle
As a result, no septic sludge is stored and as a result the bio digester product has a unique ‘odour free’ operation guarantee.

FACT 10: Groundwater not affected
Water is directed into top soils where microbial activities are most active. Nutrients are removed by soil bacteria decomposition. Because of the depth of the digester (about 3 feet depth) ground water is not affected.
Digesters are designed above ground and typically has no more than a week of decomposed contents in them.

FACT 11: Biodigesters have international approval
Not only do biodigester toilets in Ghana have governmental approval (you can check from the nearest District Assembly), they have also received worldwide acceptance by the World Bank.
In fact over the last 5 years the Government of Ghana has received over $150 million in grant from the World Bank as part of a project complementing efforts to provide low-income households with increased access to improved sanitation and water supply. Simply put are biodigesters are safe for everyone; private homes, offices and public needs.

A bio-digester does not give off any foul smell like a septic tank does. Further, the water soaks into the surrounding soil, thereby increasing the amount of underground water. In addition, there is no wastewater discharge in the streets, making it cleaner and most importantly safe.

We have had people rather asked us that how could the small sized tank not filled up within the shortest possible time.
The answer to this question is straightforward,
IT'S NOT A STORAGE TANK!!!
IT'S A REACTOR TANK.
The tank doesn't store waste like the conventional septic tank does.
The tank merely holds the waste for decomposition to take place. And, that's ALL!

SO NOTHING, I MEAN NOTHING IS LEFT IN THE TANKS EXCEPT THE AEROBIC REACTORS

BIODIGESTER SYSTEM SOAKAWAY
The system performs this function through these 3 steps:

Rapid Separation of solid waste from wastewater.

Aerobic Decomposition of the solid waste

Bio-filtration of the wastewater.

Upon entry of the solid waste and wastewater (flush water) into the small constructed tank, the solid waste rapidly separates from the wastewater.

Once that happens, the solid waste will be aerobically decomposed. What that means is, living organisms, which use oxygen, feed on the organic matter.

Then, the last stage of the process is the bio-filtration of the wastewater (flush water). The wastewater is filtered through layers of activated charcoal, activated chippings. The wastewater is filtered to remove germs and odour whereby make it colourless, odourless and free free from germs, so it won't contaminate your groundwater. Upon filtration, it seeps into the ground.
