Why is further development of the iPiT urgently needed?
Imagine you want to establish a sewage system:
In order to get the technical components you need, you would just go to the local market, buy equipment like water-flush toilet seats, pipes, pumps, valves etc. You would put them together in a well described and standardised way and eventually you would expect the system to just work. - And usually the system works, because it was specifically designed to serve its purpose.
But what if you want to build up a dry toilet system for a city?
Where would you go to get the technical components, which you would need for your system?
Where would you get the dry toilet seats, and where the containers?
How would you get them together?
Additionally to the technical components:
What about the emptying service?
What about the treatment and re-use options?
Will it be easy to build up such a system?
If you want to build up a dry toilet system, you will end up designing some kind of solution, based on the components that you can find on the local market and you would hope that it works out in the end.
But unfortunately in most of the cases such a project will fail, because none of the technical components are ready and specifically designed for serving its purpose. Usually the budget is too little to develop such components within your max 3-year limited project time-frame.
Imagine, you could find all the material you need on the local market, standardised, affordable and just working?
- just like the technical components for a conventional sewage system.
Imagine you could just go anywhere and find all the means for a dry toilet system;
imagine you could just put them together and the technical part of your system would just work....
This is the purpose of the further development of the iPiT !!
