This invention describes a system for processing human waste from toilets, particularly those using low water or no water. It separates solid and liquid waste, sending the liquid through multiple filtration stages, including a specialized membrane, to clean it. The solid waste is then broken down using high heat, like a controlled burning process. The system specifically connects a toilet to both the liquid filtration and solid waste processing units, and includes a mechanism to move and separate the waste.
Why it matters: By 2026, advancements in materials science and energy efficiency could have significantly improved the performance and reduced the operational costs of membrane distillation and pyrolysis units, making this integrated system more viable.
