The Generation 2 Reinvented Toilet (G2RT) project builds on the toilet innovations developed during the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's original Reinvent the Toilet Challenge.
The platform allows for engineering testing of Non-Sewered Sanitation (NSS) prototypes in a real environment with different types of users. Developers can measure the performance of their prototypes over various time periods.
The project is one of the first of its kind in the world to apply the new ISO 30500 testing standards for onsite sanitation systems.
The project involved the testing of three household incineration toilets for future compliance with ISO 30500 standards and performance testing against design parameters, operation and maintenance requirements, user acceptance, safety and long-term reliability.
The Loowatt toilet uses a "waterless" flush system to seal faeces, urine and toilet paper inside a polymer film. The system prevents users from seeing or smelling the stored waste. The toilet is serviced weekly by a service provider.
Through this project Khanyisa Projects successfully developed and tested a rotating trommel screen to separate solid waste from the organic material emanating from pit toilets.
This programme involves the utilisation of a highly skilled technical team who analyse the customer database and GIS data in order to plan and prioritise community interventions.
Due to concerns over waste disposal risks, Khanyisa Projects was asked to develop and implement a project to remove faecal waste from UD toilets.
Many thousands of rural households have limited access to safe energy for cooking, lighting, heating water and other needs. Biogas was identified as a sustainable fuel available to rural households with livestock waste. The assessment investigated environmental, cost and sustainable benefits of the project.
Khanyisa Projects was asked to assist with project management and community and stakeholder engagement on the country's first "green street" upgrade in a low income area. In Phase 1 and phase 2, a total of 56 low cost houses in a small road in the historical township of cato manor benefited from the upgrade or retrofit.
