Since you are already reading this, our guess is that you have probably made a cozy tiny house with a small chamber dry toilet system. Or perhaps you have finally redecorated that minivan and now you’re looking for the best possible urine separator solution for a composting toilet inside. Note that the small of urine may be altered by certain foods or alcohol. How do I dispose of excreta from a UDDT? S. Engelhardt, K. Bender, J. Vogel, S. Duirk and H. Barton, Int. J. Speleol., 2020, 49, 229–234 CrossRef. The toilet is made to be placed on the floor against the wall, and for extra stability it should be attached either to the floor, wall or both. In a UDDT, human urine and excrement are collected separately thanks to the use of a special diverter (also known as a diversion pan or separator).

A dry toilet works by separating liquid and solid waste into two separate chambers. So when you go to do your #1, #2, or both: your pee goes through the urine separator into a liquid container, and your poop goes into the solid container.The solids are transformed by worms into a dark rich mass of castings which are incorporated into the local soil. We don't recommend that these are used on food crops as a precaution but for ornamentals and trees these are a real boon. D. L. Shaffer, L. Chavez, M. Ben-Sasson, R. V. Castrillon, N. Y. Yip and M.

a Note: FU – fresh urine, HU – hydrolyzed urine, RC – reaction conditions, TOC – total organic carbon. We have been designing and making urine separators since 2009 and this complete plastic urine separator is the latest of our toilet separating designs. Developed in response to customer demand, this new separator functions in the same way as our original design - by diverting the wee away from the poo at source - but comes as a complete unit that sits neatly underneath your toilet seat.

The membrane process used should be chosen based on the specific situation and for the particular construction of the source-separation toilet itself. For example, in water-stressed areas, the MD process is an excellent way to recover clean water. The IMD, FO, and RED processes can all have more effective roles in energy conservation. A combination process, on the other hand, may be the best option for achieving more comprehensive nutrient recovery. At the same time, MBR is still the most effective way to deal with the remaining waste after resource utilization. From current process development, the FO-MBR combined process shows a good recovery effect, low energy consumption, and the good removal of pollutants. Therefore, the FO-MBR combined process is recommended as a preliminary system for resource utilization and as a harmless treatment for urine.
