Mzuzu University Centre of Excellence in Water and Sanitation, located in northern Malawi (Africa), would like to extend an invitation as a site for field testing of innovative tools and techniques for the emptying, transport and treatment of pit latrine or septic tank sludge.

The Centre is particularity well suited for self-funded graduate students or experienced researchers looking for a site to perform field testing on local pit latrines or septic tanks over several weeks to months.

The Centre owns several mechanical and manual pit emptying devices, and we recently have set-up a laboratory for fecal sludge sample analysis. We also have workshop and conference space available.
