Incinerating toilet
An incinerating toilet is a toilet that burns the excrement instead of flushing it away with water.
A film liner is dropped into the bowl each time it is used to keep it clean. The liner and excrement drop down through a door in the bottom of the bowl into the incinerator. The excrement is burned into a small amount of ash. The outer surface of the incinerator is cool to the touch. When the container is full of ash, the ash is dumped in any trash can.
Incinerating toilets are usually installed in places where access to a septic system is limited, such as camps, cabins, shacks, accessory buildings, self-sufficient autonomous buildings, or homes hit by natural disasters in which plumbing has been damaged.
Incinerating toilets require no plumbing/pipes in the house. This reduces the cost of building a home. A tube in the back of the toilet connects to a vent hole in the wall of the house to blow air outside.
Electric or gas-fired (natural gas or propane) incinerating toilets are available.
Gas incinerating toilets are portable outhouses without toilet bowls, where the excrement is dropped into a chamber located under the toilet seat. Gas incinerator toilets and their venting should be carefully inspected annually. An air space must remain clear under the toilet for proper airflow during incineration. A rug should not be under the toilet. The unit cannot be in a airtight room. Air vents in the wall/cealing might be necessary.
