Abstract

The challenge of domestic waste water treatment, especially black water, starts from technology selection, collection, treatment, and by-product utilization. The objective of this research is to analyze the sanitation condition in Indonesia, particularly regarding toilets, and the potential of fecal sludge as energy. Data from Indonesian Family Life Survey 2014 (IFLS 5) become the basis for analysis of toilets and fecal sludge production. The data are projected from 2015 until 2030 with 5 years interval. The analysis results find that 74.3% of households already have improved toilets, 17.7% of households have unimproved toilets, and 8% of households do not have any toilet. Combination of statistical data on population and IFLS 5 data generate electrical energy value in urban and rural areas of 1,814.58 GWh/year, equivalent to the electricity needs of 1,680,167 people/year or 420,042 households/year, and energy of 113.00 GWh/year, equivalent to electricity needs of 104,630 people/year or 26,158 households/year. Then, the projection shows that the production of electrical energy continues to grow in line with the growth of proper sanitation facilities and handling of fecal sludge. This indicates that increasing proper sanitation facilities and handling of fecal sludge can contribute to the value of renewable energy sources in Indonesia.
