Portal de Saneamiento
Este portal se describen las tecnologías de saneamiento que se puede aplicar desde los hogares a nivel de las aldeas. |

Un sistema de saneamiento no consiste en una única tecnología se describe a continuación. Un sistema de saneamiento completa se compone de una cadena de tecnologías, cada uno cuidando de una función específica, como el sanitario, el transporte, y tratamiento. Cada tecnología a continuación se dedica a una función particular en esta cadena. Un ejemplo se da al final de esta página.
Sanitation technologies
Below, sanitation technologies are presented in different functional groups: User interface (Toilets, urinals, handwashing), Collection and Storage / Local Treatment, Conveyance, (semi-) Centralized Treatment, and Use of products / disposal.
Sanitation systems
In this section we give an example of a complete sanitation system, which consists of a chain of technologies. Reading the icons in the illustration below from the left to the right we have a Urine Diverting Dry Toilet connecting to Storage tanks, where the faeces are taken away through Human-Powered Emptying and Transport to be processed through Co-composting and then finally be used through Application of Compost - Eco-Humus and the Application of Urine.
The table below lists eight different examples of sanitation systems, going from very simple to more complex. Of course, many other systems are possible, depending on the local context.
1 Pozo Simple | 2 Agua Con Pozos Alternos | 3 Arrastre Hidráulico Con Pozos Dobles | 4 Agua Con Separador De Orina | 5 Tratamiento De Aguas Negras Con Infiltración | 6 Tratamiento De Aguas Negras Con Alcantarillado | 7 Tratamiento (Semi) Centralizado | 8 Alcantarillado Con Separador De Orina | 9 Biogás Con O Sin Separador De Orina |
