Sump Operation
For a family of 6, the bag in the sump of the dry sanitation system will take 4 to 6 months to fill with dry and odorless waste.
Large objects such as cans or anything of that size, which are dropped down the toilet bowl, will not block the dry sanitation system.
Large objects that do not block the dry sanitation system will accumulate in the bag.
If it blocks it will occur at the bowl where it can easily be retrieved.
The dry waste can be added to compost, disposed via municipal waste services, burned or buried.

Dry Sanitation Housing |
Assembly & Movement
The circular housing in the dry sanitation system is only a 160mm deep and 1.8m in diameter.
The sump is attached to the bottom of the dry sanitation housing and is only 600mm long, 600mm deep and 340mm wide which requires less than 0.2m³ of excavation.
The system is completely sealed which means that no fluids can get in or escape from the system.
Waste falls through the toilet chute onto the floor of the circular housing.
Each handle movement moves the waste with scrapers inside the housing.
After a full circular movement, dry odorless waste falls into the bag fitted in the sump.
Urine Diversion Operation
Urine is diverted via a urinal and a Urine Diversion System (UDS) inside the bowl of the dry sanitation system.
A kiddy seat is fitted to ensure that small children do not soil the Urine Diversion System.
Urine Diversion ensures quicker drying of solids, and prevents potential odors in the dry sanitation system.
Drying Process
Urine is diverted in the dry sanitation system from solids and discharged into a soak away.
Our Whirlybird
eliminates and discharges all odors by creating a constant flow of air down the toilet bowl.
The air-flow evaporates all moisture from the solids and toilet cleaning fluids.
Solar heating of the round housing assists with evaporation and drying of solids in the dry sanitation housing unit.
Heating of the solids contributes to the elimination of most pathogens.
