Toilets that recycle water
A toilet that can completely recycle urine through a closed flushing circuit is the amazing concept that Wéco's French company presented at the XIXth African Water Association's congress. The idea is to offer an alternative to conventional toilets or dry toilets or autonomous models working with polluting chemicals. Those imagined by WéCo do not consume water: on the contrary, they produce some! How? When the flush is flushed, the solid part is directed to a septic tank for biological pretreatment. The liquids undergo electrolysis producing chlorinated derivatives that will kill the germs. This produces water ready for the next flush. And the surplus is reusable for other applications like watering. The first public toilets of this type are tested in Saint Etienne and Ivry-Sur-Seine. Commercialization expected within a year.
