Field Trial / Technical Notes

This page is a readiness statement — not a recruitment announcement. The goal is to validate an appropriate, reproducible thermal treatment approach in real conditions, and publish results and operational limits openly.

Note: A field trial is meaningful even when outcomes are imperfect. We document what works, what fails, and why — so others can reproduce and improve it responsibly.

Why field trials matter

A design that looks good on paper can behave differently under real operating constraints: feed variability, maintenance burden, temperature stability, airflow balance, and community acceptance. A community trial makes these constraints visible and measurable.

  • Operational stability under real usage
  • Practical maintenance and usability
  • Transparent documentation for replication

What this trial is (and is not)

This is:

  • Non-commercial validation & learning
  • Open documentation and clear limitations
  • Reproducible approach with practical constraints

This is NOT:

  • A product deployment or sales activity
  • A substitute for regulatory approval
  • A promise of performance in all contexts

Current status

Trial planning is in a preparation phase. We have documentation structure ready and are defining trial conditions that are realistic for communities (space, basic tools, safety protocols, and monitoring).

  • No fixed trial site / date yet
  • Trial scope: small-scale, community-appropriate operation
  • Focus: operational limits, emissions behavior (where measurable), and practical safety
If you represent a community, NGO, or research group and want to discuss a responsible pilot, reach out via the Contact page with your constraints (location, waste type, monitoring options).

What we hope to learn

  • Failure modes and how to prevent them
  • Operational limitations in daily use
  • Monitoring practicality and data quality
  • Community workflow & acceptance factors
Limits Safety Usability Monitoring

Documentation approach

Each trial iteration will be logged with: configuration, operating steps, observed issues, corrective actions, and measured results (when available). The goal is a clear record that others can reuse.

  • Build notes: parts, tools, assembly, costs (approx.)
  • Operation notes: procedures, maintenance schedule
  • Data notes: what was measured, method used, and uncertainty
  • Community notes: practical constraints and lessons learned

Potential partners

The best early partners are places that value transparency, iteration, and hands-on learning.

  • Intentional communities / eco-villages (e.g., Auroville-like environments)
  • NGOs running community waste programs
  • Research groups interested in field measurements and reproducibility
  • Educational workshops that can document builds responsibly
