A Village Struvite Reactor Turning Source-Separated Urine into Fertiliser: Design and Phosphorus Budget for a 100-Person Community

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Design and full phosphorus budget for a batch struvite precipitation reactor for 100 people, calculated from a deposited script. SIMULATED, NOT MEASURED. The reactor is calculated to recover 87.8% of urine phosphorus at pH 9.0 and 2.0 h residence, producing 2.31 kg of struvite per person per year, and stops paying on fertiliser value alone when magnesium oxide exceeds 1.23 USD per kg.
