The bacteria, used in a bio-digester, can convert human waste, releasing an effluent that is free from unpleasant odour and can prevent various diseases caused by human excreta.
The special feature of the bio-digester toilets installed at Vivekananda Nidam is that the Bacteria Anaerobic Digestion process keeps clean and odourless the water emanating from the toilets and whihc can be used for plants.
Below the toilets, a special kind of bacteria is put in the digester tank, which makes the water from the toilets clean and odourless.
The bio-digester toilets are already in use in express trains across India. By Ashok Pal
