Manufacturer Specified Performance Parameters
Environmental: The dry toilet consumes an average of 84 litres per year, which is very low compared to the 9'450 litres of a pit latrine and with a minimum of 31'104 litres that a WC flushes down the drain. Furthermore, the least amount of water is used during the service operations. Health: 4 months after using the xrunner toilet there is an average reduction of 12% of diarrheal episodes. Financial: X-runner’s customers (and potential customers) spend between US$ 7 and US$ 12 every time they suffer from acute diarrhea episodes. In addition, these diseases cost 2 days of work productivity or 2 days of missed attendance at school.
Vetted Performance Status
According to external parasitological and microbiological analyses, fecal coliform concentrations in the compost meet Chilean and Austrian standards, meaning the compost is safe for use.
Safety
Not specified. Handling of waste requires protective equipment such as gloves and face-masks.
Complementary Technical Systems
X-Runner (now Sanima) uses NFC microchips for service process monitoring. From the data, staff can assess in real-time whether there are any issues with the toilet, the payments, or the service.
