Introduction to Composting Toilets

Composting toilets are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional flush toilets. They work by separating solid and liquid waste, which allows the solid waste to decompose and be used as fertilizer.

 There are many benefits to using a composting toilet, including reducing water consumption, saving energy, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Composting toilets also reduce the amount of sewage that is produced, which can lead to environmental problems such as water pollution.

 If you're interested in going green and helping the environment, then a composting toilet may be right for you!

What are the Benefits of Composting Toilets?

Composting toilets are a great way to reduce your environmental impact while also providing other benefits. Here are some of the benefits of composting toilets:

 1. They help reduce water consumption.

 2. They recycle nutrients back into the soil.

 3. They cut down on the amount of trash that goes to landfills.

 4. They create less pollution and greenhouse gases than traditional toilets.

 5. They save energy and resources that would be used to treat sewage from traditional toilets.

How Do Composting Toilets Work?

Composting toilets are a type of toilet that uses no water for flushing. Instead, they use a process of aerobic decomposition to break down human waste. This process is facilitated by the addition of carbon-rich materials, such as sawdust or wood chips, to the toilet. The resulting compost can be used as fertilizer for plants.

 Composting toilets work by first separating solid and liquid waste. The solid waste is then broken down by microorganisms in the presence of oxygen. This process results in the production of methane gas, which is vented out of the system. The liquids are typically stored in a holding tank and are eventually released into the environment through evaporation or infiltration.

Installation instructions for Bog Standard compost toilet

Groundworks

Most of the work involved in setting up the compost toilet will be in preparing the  base for the toilet. We recommend leveling the area about a foot wider than the  footprint of the toilet and scraping back the top soil. Then either put a layer of gravel  about 2” thick around the toilet or a geotextile weed suppressant. This is to stop grass  from growing up the side of the building.

As all external wooden buildings rot from the ground up, we advise raising the toilet  above the ground by using bricks around the perimeter of the footprint. This does not  have to be a continuous line of bricks and is better if there are fewer bricks and  therefore fewer contact points between the toilet and the earth. 7 bricks should be  sufficient. Make sure to keep the back opening clear for the wheelie bin.

Installation of Compost Toilet

All you will need are two people and a cordless drill with pozi 2 and hex bits. Move base pieces into place. Align base with markings and screw front panel onto  sides with hex screws.

Make sure the distance is equal between the right and left panel and then screw brace  piece into place.

Lift roof onto toilet and align with markings. The roof is overhanging on the front and  flush to the back of the toilet. Fix into place making sure that the door closes into the  latch.

Insert 25l urine container into side door and feed in urine pipe from separator.

Move wheelie bin into back door and turn it sideways and position it as close to the  front as possible and as central to the toilet seat hole as possible.

It is important to secure the whole building to the ground with some sort of anchor if  you are in a windy spot. We recommend hammering a fence post into the ground  inside the base frame and screwing onto the base frame. This step would be best done  before the toilet sides are erected. The best place for this fence post is on the inside  opposite the small door to the urine container.

HOW TO EXPLORE COMPOSITING MODERN TOILETS NOW TODAYS?

Clivus Multrum on the property as we found that the existing toilet system was not reliable and comfortable. Now the time is change and system has been modified and we are focusing on bio-toilet. The Clivus Multrum is a self-contained, waterless and odorless toilet treatment system that uses no chemicals, heat or water and has no polluting discharge. It can save up to 60,000 liters of water per year in the average home and costs much less compared to regular treatment systems.

Introducing a waterless latrine in these spots may be use flues it has lesser maintenance costs,  a simple cartridge mechanism, low installation costs and is eco-friendly. This is the reason for which clivusmultrum introduced waterless toilet or composting  toilet to the people. Truly the possibility of waterless toilet will make everybody a wince a little at first. But after seeing the working mechanism of this toilet people will find it more interesting.

Clivus Multrum provides composting toilet solutions for private homes, public facilities, offices, and the outdoors. Firstly  the urinal is made of non-stick, non-permeable material molded like a pipe. This guarantees that all the pee channels out of the pipe leaving no deposits on the urinal surface. These toilets slowly breaks down both urine and human waste into stable, organic compounds within the composting chamber.

The sloped design separates urine from human waste. Inside the urinal, there is a layer of “Sealant Liquid” which floats on water or some other fluid. Whenever pee comes in, it courses through the sealant fluid, as it is heavier than it, and settles underneath it, and at last is emptied out. As the sealant liquid has a pleasant odor it avoids the foul odor of pee and feces. Waterless urinals are need to be taken seriously. The clivusmultrum technologies make them less problematic and more cost  effective .
