Nitrogen

Nitrogen can be extracted from the

Water per flush (11).
With conventional waterborne flush-toilets, we mix

Which will need:
• Long sewer network & pumps to get
the wastewater to the plant
• Electricity for aeration, pumps and
other moving parts
• Skilled (and thus expensive)
operation & maintenance staff
• High cost
• Recycling difficult due to
contamination of heavy metals,
etc..
