Publication of the Guide "Non-traditional On-Site Sanitation Techniques, 2nd Edition"

This guide has been updated based on feedback from the field to help project owners choose the most robust systems. A rational method for designing structures and selecting systems complements the regulatory procedure from a technical standpoint.

This guide deals with non-traditional techniques for autonomous sanitation.

These treatment techniques (micro-stations, compact filtration processes, and planted filters) are subject to ministerial approval procedures. Their distinguishing feature is that they address the significant land footprint issues associated with traditional techniques.

The Practical Guide "Non-traditional autonomous sanitation techniques" supports you in the design, implementation (location, ventilation, etc.) and operation of reliable and durable prefabricated and/or on-site assembled water treatment facilities, as well as in their maintenance thanks to numerous diagrams.

This new edition contains updated technical recommendations and takes into account all current reference texts.

This guide offers a rational method for an informed choice of techniques based on the level of robustness, a study framework to assist the project owner, and a list of self-monitoring points during the construction phase.

This is the essential tool for any professional involved in this type of project (manufacturers, architects, engineering firms, project owners, construction and maintenance companies and SPANC).

It was written and updated by Abdel LAKEL, an engineer at CSTB, an expert in autonomous sanitation who participated in the work of updating the standards.
