Before telling about the construction of such a toilet, it should be mentioned that in general a bio-toilet is not some kind of a "breakthrough" in the field of science and technology. The first mention of the "grandfather" of modern biotoilets dates back to the middle of the XIX century, and the creator of this "structure" was an Englishman, as well as the creator of the world's first toilet. And you should know that the name "bio-toilet" is a common one. There are several of their varieties, differing by the principle of work and by design. Let's consider how to build a bio-toilet, using the natural properties of peat.
That the toilet is necessary at the cottage, nobody needs to explain. The fact that human waste has to be disposed of somehow is also clear. And such recycling should be as safe as possible for people and the environment. Briefly about the advantages of a peat bio-toilet and the principle of its work( to build "knowledgeably").
Advantages of peat biota:
- there are no "smells";
- does not require flushing water;
- small material costs for equipment;
- obtaining clean compost. After a couple of weeks, man's waste will become an excellent fertilizer for the suburban area, so there is no need to buy manure or something like that.
Disadvantages:
- possibility to use only in the warm season;
- need ventilation equipment;
- requires regular emptying of the tank.
The construction of the peat bio-toilet
Peat dry closets( they are also called composting, from the word "compost", powders - closets) can be of several types. They differ in the number of chambers, the design of the bunker( drum, carousel), a way of removing liquids. However, any such toilet consists of two main parts: a reactor and a ventilation system( pipe).In the work of the toilet, the ability of well-ground peat is used to process organic matter( waste) into the compost mass. This is the "involved" bacteria that are contained in peat.
The simplest version of a peat toilet is a toilet seat( seats).Another kind of packaging for peat and pit for compost is needed. Well, peat itself will have to be purchased."Work" of this toilet is as follows: the waste of a person sitting on a toilet seat, fall into the bottom located capacity. Under the toilet seat, you can put a metal bucket, a tank - a digestion, any other suitable container. After the end of the "process", a portion of the peat mixture is poured onto the waste. Gardeners often mix peat with sawdust and this mass is used( usually 1: 1).
It turns out that the capacity is filled with layers. A man went to the toilet - a layer of peat mixture. Once again I went - again a layer. Firstly, it destroys any odors, and secondly, it contributes to the rapid and qualitative processing of waste. Once the container is full, its contents are poured into the compost pit. Above - also a layer of peat mixture.
Containers for storage of dry peat( it is necessary to dry out DRYLY) should be next to the toilet seat. You can make it in the form of a toilet bowl - and convenient, and the place will save. Depending on the size of the "receiving" capacity( under the stool) it can be equipped with a sled, wheels. The real owner will think up himself what can be done for the convenience of emptying.
The preparation of a trench for draining fluids and a special branch pipe for this should also be provided. Thus, to equip such a toilet, if money is spent( on peat), this waste is compensated by the fact that there will be no need to purchase fertilizers that you can use for your garden.
