How it works:
Drop bowl liner into toilet bowl. Bowl liner catches and contains all waste plus paper.
Flush bowl by stepping on foot pedal.
Push start button to incinerate waste automatically.
INCINOLET uses electric heat to reduce human waste (urine, solids, paper) to a small amount of clean ash, which is dumped periodically into the garbage. INCINOLET remains clean because waste never touches the bowl surface. A bowl liner, dropped into the bowl prior to use, captures the waste, then both liner and its content drop into the incinerator chamber when the foot pedal is pushed. You can use INCINOLET at any time-even while it is in cycle.
Incinolet electric incinerating toilet
These toilets cost nearly $2,000. That’s pricey, but this toilet may be preferred by some because there’s no mess, no smell and it meets code. Search our blog for lots of other less expensive eco toilets.
I’ve never incinerated human waste but I assume it would cause smoke and a horrific smell. How does this system avoid that? Where does the smoke go? How does it stop the smell of burning human waste?
Definitely seems more sanitary than just burying human waste, interested to learn more.
I have an incinolet. It doesn’t smell and no smoke in the house, it is vented. It works fantastically. It really does get rid of everything leaving just a tiny bit of ash.
Just poop in a bag then chuck it in the wood stove!
Then use the ashes to enrich the soil without the e-coli contamination risk…
“purification through fire”
Is there any smell? What to do with a whole family?
Same or less than this machine.
Paper liner = paper bag;
Hot Flue Pipe = lower temp exhaust vent with fan;
Poo like a compost toilet that has a paper bag liner.
It burns well.
It contains methane and actually burns -very- hot once it out gasses.
If you burn clean (good intake and draft) there is no smell.
If you burn dirty (O2 starved) the smell is still only outside (think Hazelnut Coffee)…
Benefits:
Free heating fuel
Sanitary (as this $2000 machine)
No electric
No waiting for compost (just sprinkle ashes as fertilizer)
cleaner than keeping a diaper or dog droppings in a dumpster
and more I’m sure…
It’s like burning gas and bio-mass at the same time using wood as a means to start it.
This is about as “old tech” as you can get and found in old or dying infrastructures in archeological sites world round.
Use your poo to distill water from your pee!
LOL! but maybe?…
