Incinerator Toilet
Project Outcomes
The outcome of this project is to...
The original concept comes from https://incinolet.com/. This company has been making incinerator toilets for many years. There are yards in the local area in Panama where they have an incinerator toilet from this company that has been in use for 20+ years without problems. The downside of this system is that it is still very different from a normal toilet. So there is a little bit of a learning curve. You have to put down a paper sheet before you start using the toilet. One the toilet is flushed there's no actual water. The system Hass to be manually cleaned out frequently, meaning a couple times a week at the very least. It uses electricity to do the incineration. I'm not sure if there's a propane option. This may be too energy intensive for our purposes if it is using electricity. Electricity is at a premium on a floating structure that doesn't have power hook ups.
Hannes, came up with a modification that will allow us to use a normal toilet waswith flushing water where are you would not have to do anything different when using the toilet. The system as described in this video that he made: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xg9wwc0adc85257/Incinerator.mp4?dl=0.
We are making further improvements on the system which will allow us to do two things that are really great in addition to what we discussed in the previousvideo video.above.
We will be reusing the waste heat to heat water which can be used on the SeaPod for showers, powering steam turbines, and other uses. This will allow us to efficiently use all of the energy that we are using to incinerate the waste for a very useful purposes. We are also interested in developing a multi fuel burner that can burn LPG, kerosene, wood, diesel, dried seaweed, etc.
