ModAD High Rise Treatment System

About 2.5 billion people in developing countries, more than one third of the world population, lack access to basic sanitation facilities (UNICEF/WHO, 2012). As a result, 3.4 million people, mostly children, die every year from diseases contracted through direct and indirect contact with pathogens found in human excreta . The low sanitation coverage in developing countries is primarily due to the lack of affordable sanitation technologies. In addition, the lack of skilled personnel and technical capacity contribute to this problem.
Modified Anaerobic Digestion (ModAD) technology has the potential to address the sanitation challenges in developing countries. Laboratory results showed that the technology has the potential to be developed into an effective waste treatment system
