Re: [DIYbio] Re: non-glamorous bioreactor restroom project

I think the solution is being over-engineered. Back in Uni., I came
across an old book called "The Toilet Papers: Recycling Waste and
Conserving Water" by Sim Van der Ryn in the back of the library. I
don't remember much, but the method he proposed was support of squat
toilets and use of sawdust rather than water. It made sense from an
environmental and health standpoint. I think it's a good read and it's
very short, especially in dealing with the area of waste disposal.
Sometimes solutions are made much more complex than they should.
Complexity of the method and expenses should be considered when
thinking of solutions.

Reading over the replies again, I think you guys have a different
endpoint in mind than than Van der Ryn. Well, all the best on your
project.
