Preliminary Research and Documentation
The following research and documentation is meant to get this project started. Please consider this a work in progress. Significant work is needed to move this project forward.
Components
- Flushing toilet system - to collect waste
- Separator/Filter - tp separate solid particles from dirty water
- Incinerator chamber - to burn solid waste
- Waste water chamber- collect the water and send it for further purification
Figure 1 - Sample set up of the incinerator toilet.
Method
The incinerator toilet is a regular flushing toilet that can collect waste. When the toilet is flushed, the contaminated water goes through the drain. A filter in the drain separates solid waste from liquid waste. The filter is installed at an angle of 60°. This allows for the solid waste to slide into the incineration chamber.
A high powered propane burner burns the solid waste.
The resulting water is collected in the waste water chamber and is pumped out for further purification using electrocoagulation or other methods of water purification.
