Abstract - The environment is continuously affected by

tends to remain clean”, he added. However, there are minor issues related to the bio-toilets which pertain to behavior of the passengers. “People tend to dispose newspapers, plastic water bottles, polythene bags and gutka pouches that clog bio-toilets. But a new design providing for manually operated lever to clear the non-biodegradable materials has been made and installed.

constant addition of pollution waste material and other hazardous product. It is essential that environment should be protected and maintains to make safe for living. Use of smart toilet or green toilet should help the cause of achieving the goal of environment safety. The First Rake with bio-toilets developed with DRDO is running in Bundelkhand Express since 18th January -2011. DRDO is constantly trying to make improvements in EFT to reduce the pollution and make travelling in railways more comfortable .This project deals with an ECO FRIENDLY TOILET system. It is developed to solve three problems in eco-friendly toilet. This eco-friendly toilet will be in accordance with DRDO (Defence research & Development organization) rules and regulation. Improvement is to be needed in railway bogies to reduce the pollution and deposition of waste material. The system is developed while considering the railway passenger. The problem of space availability, cost, odour and quantity of water is solved in this project. This problem is solved by merging two EFT tanks and it is also used for disable person as well as common passenger in railway bogies many other improvements. Key Words: Smart toilet, environment safety, green toilet, merging two tanks, cost, odour, space availability, quantity of water.

1.1 Brief About bacteria – Anaerobic Anaerobic Bacteria:

Can process doubling its population within 6 to 8 hrs. Dominates and decompose matter in to liquid and gases. Can be kept for 3-4 months at ambient temperature. Can withstand subzero temperature as well as up to 60 Degree centigrade but charging of Inoculum should be. Done not less than 5ºC Temperature. Cold temperature would not affect the inside processing. Because: Anaerobic process is exothermic in nature thus; in cold regions heat will be available inside the chamber because of chemical process.

1.2 Working of anaerobic system

1. INTRODUCTION Bio-toilets are based on bio-digester technology which was initially developed by Defence research &Development organization (DRDO) for defence personnel. The enterprise is pioneering this, in integrated approaches and taking this effective and innovative Sanitation solution to the civil population with varying applications. Developed by DRDO and hence called ‘DRDO Bacteria’ – converts human waste into water and gas which is released through outlets. Water is subjected to chlorination and then discharged outside and the long-term impact will be a clean and environmental-friendly track that also facilitates a healthy working condition for those working on railway tracks. “Apart from being eco-friendly, workers find it easy to attend to coaches with bio-toilets as the under-frame
