Benefits of technology

[0033]These phages are more motile and effective in liquids than solids, which is good because the pathogens cause diarrhea. The phages are spread inside the toilet predominantly in the Fece Chute' and Urine Bowl at the factory. These phages survive dryness and dormancy. The phages are spread inside the Fece Bags at the factory, too.
[0034]The fourth important feature of the present invention is the Oz

Problems solved by technology

These poor people cannot afford toilets with plumbing, water, or chemical disinfectants.
They have no electricity, piped water, or piped sewage disposal, and very little money.
Even the waterless toilet of this invention is too expensive

Example

[0040]The waterless toilet system with fece and urine separation, odor and vermin seal, biological disinfection, and gas ozonation can be described as a system of components. Referring to FIG. 1, an isometric view, the waterless toilet system has a Platform 10 with a sitting surface or Seat 20 approximately 19 inches above the ground. The user sits on this Seat 20 to defecate or urinate. Platform 10 is supported by the Legs 30. The Seat 20 and Platform 10 have an opening through which the user defecates and urinates. This opening has a hinged Lid 40 with a Gasket Seal 41 that makes the opening airtight when the Lid 40 is closed. Attached to the bottom of the Platform 10, is a Fece Chute 50 and a Urine bowl 60. Under the Urine bowl 60 is a Urine Tank 61. Under the Fece Chute 50 is a Fece Receptacle 70.

[0041]Referring to FIG. 2, a rear view, the Fece Chute 50 has two Gas Vent Hoses 51 on opposite sides. Each Gas Vent Hose 51 has a Mesh 54 on its distal end to keep out vermin. Each Mes...

Abstract

A waterless toilet system with fece and urine separation, odor and vermin seal, thermal and biological disinfection, and gas ozonation includes a system of components. The feces and urine are kept separate by a ridge separating the urine bowl from the fece chute. The seat forms a temporary seal with the platform, and the lid forms a temporary seal with the seat when closed. The rest of the components are sealed to keep vermin outside and odors inside, with the exception of a gas vent hose with a screened opening. Biological disinfection is achieved with phage focused on human pathogens. Thermal disinfection of human pathogens is achieved by insulating the fece receptacle and containing metabolic heat. The air in the toilet is ozonated by electrical discharges from a hand operated device.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention is in the field of sanitary equipment, and more particularly, waterless toilet systems that keep feces and urine separate. Our definition of ‘waterless toilet’ means that the toilet operates without the addition of external water i.e. the only water in the toilet is the water latent in the urine and feces.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Two and a half billion people in the world in 2010 do not have toilets. They rely on open defecation and open urination and in some cases, they use open latrines. Small children exposed to the ubiquitous feces can get dysentery and die, in fact, 1.3 million do so each year. Mosquitoes, flies, bugs, birds, and rats feed on the open latrines and unburied feces, then spread the viruses and bacteria to people through bites, stings, and contact with the human food supply. Diseases worse than dysentery are spread this way, too, for example the deadly Cholera and Typhoid fever.[0003]These poor people cannot...
