In order to design, develop and optimize the prototype household waste drying system, the following methodology was followed:
Literature review on the state of the art on source separation and household treatment techniques. Evaluation of existing methods on household organic waste treatment techniques, including large scale sludge drying systems
Manufacture and assembly of the prototype system components - parts
Operation of the innovative household drying system/extensive laboratory analyses conducted
Design and construction of the optimized household waste dryer
The prototype household waste dryer for the drying of organic waste at source
