Job Title: | SITE WASH TECHNICIAN (1 Position) |
Country: | Sierra Leone |
Location: | Kingtom Treatment Plant Freetown Sierra Leone |
Start Date: | ASAP |
Reports to: | Site Operations Manager |
Duration: | 5 months (with possibility of extension) |
Start Date: | ASAP |
General Description of the Programme
Technician working on innovation project Sedup at Kingtom Fecal Sludge treatment plant.
Topic: Nearly half of the world’s population relies on non-sewered sanitation. In urban areas of low-income countries, dilute wastewater is stored at the source of generation (referred to as fecal sludge), prior to energy-intensive transport by road to treatment. Established solutions for solid-liquid separation (dewatering) rely on passive technologies that require a large footprint, and in urban areas, land is scarce and expensive. Hence, dewatering is the missing link in the fecal sludge treatment chain. Alternative low footprint dewatering solutions used in sewer-based wastewater treatment are expensive, not adapted for fecal sludge, and require continual supply of energy.
We are piloting a low-energy, low-footprint dewatering technology at Kingtom Fecal Sludge in Freetown, Sierra Leone. The technology consists of open-source sensor technology, bio-based flocculants and a locally manufactured, manually operated dewatering press. Piloting this technology will provide the required data for scaling to similar contexts in Sub Saharan Africa and globally.
We are looking for a sanitary technician to support piloting of the low-energy, low-footprint dewatering technology at the Kingtom Fecal Sludge treatment plant.
