Hyderabad school gets ASCI-funded waterless bio-toilet system
HYDERABAD: Advanced bio-toilets have been installed at Raj Bhavan Government High School in Hyderabad. The Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI) handed over the new units to the school.
System recycles water through multi-stage treatment
The toilets, imported from China, use a container-based design that eliminates the need for regular water supply. Wastewater flows into the first underground septic tank with a capacity of 1,000 litres. Once the tank fills, sensors trigger an automated recycling process. The treated water is pumped back into the flush tank.
Staff overseeing operations said a 10,000-litre flush tank, filled once, can function for nearly a year because recycled water keeps refilling the system.
Solid waste processed into ash every six months
Solid waste moves to a second tank for bioprocessing. Residue from this tank is sent to a third chamber, where it is converted into ash once every six months.
ASCI funds installation costing ₹70 lakh
The school’s in-charge headmaster, Gopal, said installation and maintenance are estimated at ₹70 lakh, fully supported by ASCI.
An ASCI representative said similar toilets are being set up at Lumbini Park and T-Works, adding that this is the first time such technology is being deployed in the country.
