Problem: Dr. Roger Giesen’s charitable Global Freedom Project contacted SludgeHammer about a latrine project for a Haitian community devastated by a hurricane. The company planned a wastewater system Giesen could transport to his clients as baggage on a commercial flight.
Solution: SludgeHammer designed the latrine so the treatment tank was built into the foundation of the building that the community assembled themselves. Giesen showed up at SludgeHammer with a duffle bag, packed the SludgeHammer and components, and flew to the site.
Result: SludgeHammer received a video of the system. The water was clear, reportedly without odor, and the effluent flowed to a nearby plantain farm, providing fertigation for crops. 231-348-5866; www.sludgehammer.net
