Faecal Sludge and Septage Management (FSSM)

We at Genesis are equipped with technical expertise to adopt a set of safe practices, appropriate technology options and institutional arrangements for FSSM through a number of treatment options namely: gravity based biological treatment, mechanical centrifugal, sludge screwing, chemical treatment, filtration systems, electrical heat drying, incinerators and ultraviolate among others.
FSSM refers to the management of all stages of the sanitation value chain includes collection, emptying, transport, treatment, disposal and reuse of Faecal Sludge from pits, tanks or other onsite sanitation systems and involves creation of smooth and sustainable environment
Urban and rural Indiaby majority is characterized by low levels of traditional sewerage systems which are expensive to build & operate considering their need for continuous power, skilled operators and extensive electromechanical maintenance wherein only about 30% of the sewage generated is actually treated. As a result “Decentralized FaecalSeptage Treatment Plants (FSTPs) are recent solutions to the challenge of addressing safe treatment and disposal of septage.
The National Policy on FSSM, 2017 suggests a holistic, integrated, people centered approach towards planning and implementing measures on such decentralized approach of septage treatment and management.
