- Re: Presentation: Inactivation of helminth in a solar concentrator and pit latrine + feasibility review of solar sanitation - by: JKMakowka May 21, 2013Dear Ewoods Due to me changing jobs in Dec. 12, I never got around actually experimenting with this. Thus I am not sure if I can be of any help with trying out an RSB for fecal sludge disinfection. On a positive side though, I am now working in Kampala, Uganda and would be naturally very much interested in your pilots in Kenya.
