Through this porous concrete MQP, our team analyzed a revolutionary toilet design which is able to separate solid and liquid human waste to be later used as fertilizer for crops in Ethiopia. The effectiveness of using porous concrete as the filter for human waste was studied and tested. The group placed concrete samples of varying mix designs under the conditions that they would experience in Ethiopia. After analyzing the results, it was determined that porous concrete was not a suitable filtration device.
