An incinerating toilet includes a toilet unit, a toilet casing, and a lifting device. The toilet unit includes a toilet bowl, an incineration chamber, and an ash tray. The toilet casing is arranged so as to cover a front and sides of the toilet unit and has a toilet cover and sitting ring connected on top. The lifting device is arranged for moving the toilet casing relative to the toilet unit, from a first position in which the toilet casing is covering the at least one part of the toilet unit, to a second position allowing access to the at least one part of the toilet unit in order to perform service and maintenance. The lifting device includes a spring-loaded device connected to the toilet casing and adapted to store mechanical energy in the first position, in order to provide a push or pull force when activated, for moving the toilet casing from the first position to the second position.

A compact waste combustion system deployed within a portable toilet has a burn chamber that includes a processor, a burner, a trapdoor mechanism configured to seal an entrance to the burn chamber when the compact waste combustion system is operated in a first mode and a waste receptacle configured to feed waste material to the burn chamber through the trapdoor mechanism in a second mode of operation. The processor may be configured to detect presence of a waste in the waste receptacle, configure the system to operate in the second mode and to pass waste into the burn chamber, configure the compact waste combustion system to operate in the first mode after the waste has passed into the burn chamber, and activate the burner when the compact waste combustion system is operated in the first mode and the waste is located in the burn chamber.

An improved control box for an incinerator toilet that improves efficiency of energy utilization through enhanced temperature regulation. Uses multiple cycle timers and temperature switches to ensure safe and effective operating temperatures are maintained without expending excess power in a heating element.

A waste burning toilet may operate on power generated from burning waste deposited in the toilet without connection to external electricity, a sewer, or water supply. A dryer connected to the toiled dries the waste prior to burning. The waste may be burnt in a firebox that is connected to the dryer. Heat from the firebox may be used to generate electricity that can power the components of the toilet system. The waste may be reduced to sterile ash.

Toilet-mounted electrical device created to extract and eliminate via ignition the gases from the toilet bowl that generate the bad odor coming from human flatulence and feces.

A stand-alone toilet system is powered by photovoltaic cells to operate a dehumidifier from which water is extracted from the atmosphere by dehumidification and used for flushing; an electronic compressor is situated in the toilet tank to compress air which is used with water in the flush cycle; a motorized or hydraulic hinge is utilized to open and close a toilet cover automatically which can be locked in place by electromagnet means to create an airtight seal in the closed position; a heating element and a UV lamp are situated inside the “treatment facility” of the toilet system to evaporate liquid and sanitize waste content therein respectively.

In the treatment of human faeces having a starting moisture content, the faeces are pressed between opposing pressing surfaces of rollers in a dryer, to press out at least some moisture from the faeces. The pressing surfaces are moved to leave an exposed layer of pressed faeces on at least one of the pressing surfaces which is then scraped. This produces partially-treated human faeces having a moisture content of not more than 20 wt %. The partially-dried human faeces may then be combusted. This fuel is fed substantially continuously into a combustor at a rate of 0.4-15 g/min combusted continuously over a time of at least 1 hour. In the combustor, there is a reaction chamber with a drying zone and a first combustion zone. The reaction chamber is orientable to permit gravity-assisted transit of the fuel from the drying zone to the first combustion zone. The drying zone has a drying zone grate configured to hold some of the fuel while combustion of other of the fuel occurs at the first combustion zone. A toilet may incorporate such a dryer and/or combustor.

A method of treating fecal waste according to an example of the present disclosure includes bringing a reactor containing fecal matter to a first temperature and a first pressure, exposing the reactor to an environment with a second temperature and a second pressure such that the water in the fecal waste undergoes flash evaporation, and pyrolizing the fecal waste. A fecal waste processing unit is also disclosed.

An incineration toilet includes a base, a toilet unit, a seat, a toilet casing, an access opening, a cover, and a locking system. The toilet unit is secured above the base. The toilet unit includes a toilet bowl, an incineration chamber, and an ash tray. The seat has a lid around and above the toilet bowl. The toilet casing is connected to the base for protecting an outside of the toilet casing against heat from the incineration chamber. The access opening provides access to the ashtray for emptying of the ash tray. The cover is for closing off the access opening. The locking system is operable between an unlocked state in which it allows the cover to be opened and a locked state in which the cover is prevented from being opened. The incineration toilet further includes a control system for automatically operating the locking system from the locked state to the unlocked state based on a heat parameter, such that the locking system is in the unlocked state when the heat parameter is below a predetermined threshold value.
