CASE STUDY ANALYSES OF WASTE-TO-ENERGY PROJECTS
Capital city-Ulaanbaatar 1 151 600
62% of city population living in the ger area
Population of Mongolia 3.119.000
Nation wide
In the ger area 95% of population still using
pit latrine.

• ACF KAP судалгаа 2012-2014
Problem of pit latrine
- Soil pollution
- Ground water pollution
- Flooding
- Uncontrolled private well
Sanitation issue in UB ger area
A crucial problem for the ger area inhabitants
But a problem also for the city of Ulaanbaatar, and for the future of Mongolia
Several important issues :
Environment
Hygiene
Particular conditions :
No water connection
Harsh climate
Cultural and social difficulties

Jé rô me Vassal - UB ACF dry toilets composting project
ACF is International humanitarian NGO who implemented WaSH project in UB.
A very good investment from the staff of ACF
Several testing and adaptations :
sealed pits
urine diversion systems
ventilation
distribution of sawdust

Thermophilic composting is the practice of breaking down biological waste with thermophilic (heat-loving) bacteria. The key advantage of thermophilic composting is that the high temperatures kill diseases.

The key advantage of thermophilic composting is that the high temperatures kill diseases. All the organisms that cause human diseases are adapted to live around human body temperature. Higher temperatures kill them. The bacteria that make compost need oxygen.

Study area – Ecological sanitation cycle
ACF-Mongolia constructed 300pcs urine diverting dry toilets in ger area of UB city. Dry toilet model adapted to the Mongolian cold climate. The
urine doesn’t collected due to freezing during 7 months. Fecal matter
collected in the boxes. Every 3 months collection service remove filled
boxes and switch empty box.

Figure 3: Interaction of
reactor and surrounding
temperature
Figure 3 shows clearly: if the surrounding temperature declines sharply during a high temperature period in the composting
process, there is also a significant impact on the reactor temperature.
If there is enough organic material in the reactor, and the surrounding temperature is improving again, the reactor
temperature could recover in 1~2d. But if there is not enough organic matter in the reactor or cool temperatures continue, the
reactor temperature is difficult to restore. Figure 4 presents the differences in temperature between the reactor temperature
and surrounding temperature, indicating that the composting process took about 30 days.
Figure 4: Difference in temperature between reactor and surrounding
Figure 5: Effects of different additives
Figure 5 demonstrates the effects of different additives.
In three reactors the highest temperature was 65° C,
61° C, and 56° C respectively. Temperature was
maintained above 50° C through 9d, 9d, 5d respectively.
Temperature was maintained above 45° C through 16d,
17d, 18d respectively thus achieving the die-off of
pathogens.
Reactor #1 - using sawdust - had a relatively slow
startup, but this reactor achieved the highest
temperature at 65° C. One reason could have been that
the coarse size of the sawdust is very small, and makes
air convection difficult. Under these conditions it is
difficult for the microbial to obtain sufficient oxygen for
the decomposition of the organic matter, but it is easy to
keep warm.
Reactors #3 and #5, where straw and wood chip had
been applied as additive, showed a relatively fast
startup; a reason for this development could be found in
the coarse size of straw and wood chips which is big,
thus making air convection easy. On the other hand,
these 2 reactors were easy influenced by changes in the
surrounding temperature.
