===Products===
Products are materials that are also called ‘wastes’ or ‘resources’. Some products are generated directly by humans (e.g., Urine and Faeces), others are required in the functioning of technologies (e.g., Flushwater to move Excreta through sewers) and some are generated as a function of storage or treatment (e.g., Sludge).
Products are materials For the design of a robust sanitation system, it is necessary to define all of the products that are also called ‘wastes’ or ‘resources’. Some Products are generated directly by humans flowing into (e.g. urine inputs) and faecesout of (outputs), others are required each of the sanitation technologies in the functioning of Technologies (e.gsystem. flush water to move excreta through sewers) and some The products referenced within this text are generated as a function or storage or treatment (e.g. faecal sludge)described below.
For the design of a robust sanitation system, it is necessary to define all of the Products that are flowing into (Inputs) and out (Outputs) of each of the sanitation Technologies in the system. The Products referenced within this text are described below.
====Pre-Treatment ProductsAnal Cleansing Water===={| align="left"|style="width:20px; background:#dbd096;"| |style="background:#ffffff;"| |}Anal cleansing water is water used to cleanse oneself after defecating and/or urinating; it is generated by those who use water, rather than dry material, for anal cleansing. The volume of water used per cleaning typically ranges from 0.5 L to 3 L. ====Biomass====

Pre-Treatment Products are materials separated from Blackwater, Brownwater, Greywater Biomass refers to plants or Sludge in preliminary treatment units, such as screens, grease traps animals cultivated using the water and/or grit chambers (see PREnutrients flowing through a sanitation system. The term Biomass may include fish, p. 100). Substances like fatsinsects, oilvegetables, greasefruit, and various solids (e.g. sandforage or other beneficial crops that can be utilized for food, fibres and trash)feed, can impair transport and/or treatment efficiency through clogging fibre and wear. Therefore, early removal of these substances is crucial for the durability of a sanitation systemfuel production.
====UrineBiogas====

Urine Biogas is the liquid waste produced by common name for the body to rid itself mixture of urea and other waste Productsgases released from anaerobic digestion. In this contextBiogas is comprised of methane (50 to 75%), the urine Product refers carbon dioxide (25 to pure urine that is not mixed with faeces or 50%) and varying quantities of nitrogen, hydrogen sulphide, watervapour and other components. Depending on diet, human urine Biogas can be collected during one year and burned for fuel (ca. 500 Llike propane) contains 2–4 kg nitrogen. With the exception of some rare cases, urine is sterile when it leaves the body.
====Stored UrineBlackwater====

Anal cleansing water Compost is water collected after it decomposed organic matter that results from a controlled aerobic degradation process. In this biological process, microorganisms (mainly bacteria and fungi) decompose the biodegradable waste components and produce an earth-like, odourless, brown/ black material. Compost has been used to cleanse oneself after defecating excellent soil-conditioning properties and/or urinatinga variable nutrient content. It is only Because of leaching and volatilization, some of the water generated by nutrients may be lost, but the user material is still rich in nutrients and organic matter. Generally, Excreta or Sludge should be composted long enough (2 to 4 months) under thermophilicconditions (55 to 60 °C) in order to be sanitized sufficiently for anal cleansing and does safe agricultural use. This temperature is not include dry materialsguaranteed in most Composting Chambers (S. The volume of water collected during anal cleansing ranges from 0.5 L to 3 L per cleaning8), but considerable pathogen reduction can normally be achieved.

Solid materials used to cleanse oneself after defecating Dried Faeces are Faeces that have been dehydrated until they become a dry, crumbly material. Dehydration takes place by storing Faeces in a dry environment with good ventilation, high temperatures and/or urinating (e.g., paper, leaves, corncobs, rags or stones). Dependingon the system, Dry Cleansing Materials may be collected and separately disposed presence ofabsorbent material. Although extremely important, a separate product name for menstrual hygiene products like sanitary napkins Very little degradation occurs during dehydration and tampons is not included this means that the Dried Faeces are still rich in this Compendiumorganic matter. In general (though not always)However, they should Faeces reduce by around 75% in volume during dehydration and most pathogens die off. There is a small risk that some pathogenic organisms can be treated along with reactivated under the solid waste generated right conditions, particularly, in the householdhumid environments.

Sludge Greywater is a mixture the total volume of solids and liquidswater generated from washing food, containing mostly Excreta clothes and waterdishware, in combination with sandas well as from bathing, grit, metals, trash and/or various chemical compounds. A distinction can be made between faecal Sludge and wastewater Sludge. Faecal Sludge comes but not from onsite sanitation technologies, itoilets.It may contain traces of Excreta (e., it has not been transported through a sewerg. It can be raw or partially digested, a slurry or semisolid, and results from the Collection washing diapers) and Storage/Treatment of Excreta or Blackwater, with or without Greywater. For a more detailed characterization of faecal Sludge refer to Strande et al., 2014 (see Sector Development Toolstherefore, p. 9). Wastewater Sludge (also referred to as sewage Sludge) is Sludge that originatesfrom sewer-based wastewater collection and (Semi-) Centralized Treatment processespathogens. The Sludge composition will determine the type Greywater accounts for approximately 65% of treatment that is required and the end-use possibilitieswastewater produced in households with flush toilets.

Brownwater consists of faeces and flushwater (although in actual practice there Pit Humus is always some urinethe term used to describe the nutrient- rich, hygienically improved, as only 70–85% of the urine humic material that is divertedgenerated in double pit technologies (S.4-S.6)through dewatering and degradation. Brownwater This earth-like product is generated also referred to as EcoHumus, a term conceived by urine-diverting flush toilets Peter Morgan in Zimbabwe. The various natural decomposition processes taking place in alternating pits can be both aerobic and thereforeanaerobic in nature, the volume depends depending on the volume of the flushwater usedtechnology and operating conditions. The pathogen main difference between Pit Humus and nutrient load of faeces Compost is that the degradation processes are passive and are not reducedsubjected to a controlled oxygen supply, C:N ratio, only diluted by humidity and temperature. Therefore, the rate of pathogen reduction is generally slower and the quality of the flushwaterproduct, including its nutrient and organic matter content, can vary considerably. Pit Humus can look very similar to Compost and have good soil conditioning properties, although pathogens may still be present.
====Dried faecesPre-Treatment Products====
{| align="left"

Dried faeces Pre-Treatment Products are faeces that have been dehydrated at high temperatures materials separated from Blackwater, Brownwater, Greywater or Sludge in preliminary treatment units, such as screens, grease traps or grit chambers (see PRE, p. 100). Substances like fats, oil, grease, and high pHvarious solids (e.g. sand, fibres and trash) until they become a dry, sanitized powder. Very little degradation occurs during dehydration can impair transport and/or treatment efficiency through clogging and this means that the dried faeces are still rich in organic materialwear. Faeces will reduce in volume by around 75%. There Therefore, early removal of these substances is crucial for the durability of a small risk that some organisms can be reactivated in the right environmentssanitation system.
====EffluentSludge====

Effluent Sludge is the general term for liquid that has undergone some level a mixture of treatment solids and liquids, containing mostly Excreta and water, in combination with sand, grit, metals, trash and/or separation various chemical compounds. A distinction can be made between faecal Sludge and wastewater Sludge. Faecal Sludge comes from solidsonsite sanitation technologies, i.e., it has not been transported through a sewer. It originates at either can be raw or partially digested, a slurry or semisolid, and results from the Collection and Storage/Treatment of Excreta or Blackwater, with or without Greywater. For a more detailed characterization of faecal Sludge refer to Strande et al., 2014 (see Sector Development Tools, p. 9). Wastewater Sludge (also referred to as sewage Sludge) is Sludge that originatesfrom sewer-based wastewater collection and (Semi-) Centralized Treatment Technologyprocesses.
