Blackwater Liquid Treatment
Project Outcomes
The outcome of this project is to be able to cost effectively treat liquid blackwater that comes from toilets and urinals so that we can produce a home that produces zero liquid blackwater.
The input to the liquid waste treatment system should be urine from a waterless urinal and the liquid waste from flushing a normal toilet.
The liquid can be treated:
- With an electrical process like electrocoagulation
- Some form of filters can be used
- The liquid can be incinerated
- Some other process can be used to neutralize the waste.
In case of incineration we cam collect water from condensation (as seen here) and then passed through a charcoal filter before being returned to a toilet water reservoir storage tank. We may also want to use a heat exchanger to preheat the liquid before it is incinerated so that less energy is needed to bring it to boiling. We should also use the multifuel burner developed for the incinerator toilet
