NNott suitable in areas of great water scarcity or rocky underground. • Public buildings incl. schools with secured – even if limited – watter supplly, allllowiing reuse. • Newly constructed residential areas with individual toilets attached via a small bore sewer, gravity sewer or vacuum nneettwoorrkk. • Sanitary biogas systems should compete with costs for septic tanks. • Community sanitation centres in permanent settlements, where residents cannot construct private toilets, due to financial, topographic or limited space conditions. • Depending on local conditions different designs may be appropriate and could be adapted with design support from biogas technology experts.
