A portable hygiene station that is configured to be transportable so as to facilitate execution of hygiene protocols such as but not limited to hand washing at locations wherein utility infrastructure is unavailable. The portable hygiene station includes a frame wherein the frame is manufactured from a plurality of support members. The frame includes an upper portion and a lower portion that are integrally formed. The lower portion of the frame has mounted therein a first tank and a second tank. Mounted to a support shelf on the lower portion is a power supply and a pump that is electrically coupled to the power supply. The pump is configured to transfer fluid from the first tank into a basin member via a faucet member. Fluid from the basin member is subsequently transferred to the second tank. A top member provides coverage of the station and further has a photovoltaic panel.

A sink system includes a sink basin and a disposal system. The disposal system includes a first inlet coupled to the sink basin, a second inlet fluidly coupled to a second fluid source, and a garbage disposal configured to receive a first flow of fluid from the sink basin via the first inlet and receive a second flow of fluid from a second fluid source via the second inlet. The sink basin delivers a flow of used water to the disposal system and the second fluid source delivers a flow of clean water to the disposal system.

An apparatus includes a manifold heat exchange fitting (32) configured to collect a plurality of fluid streams of fluids having different fluid densities. The fitting includes a body (52) with a generally open fluid collection interior area (56). The body of the heat exchange fitting is positioned in a central fluid path that includes a body inlet (58) and a body outlet (60). A plurality of fluid stream fitting openings (76) in the body are connectable to fluid streams of fluids having different densities delivered from water discharge devices such as an autoclave, a steam sterilizer in the steam cooler. The fluid streams of the fluids having different densities collected in fluid communication in the fluid collection interior area may undergo heat exchange prior to discharge from the body outlet.
