A bio-toilet is a toilet attached to a fermentation tank containing a liquid consortium of especially developed bacteria—aerobic or anaerobic. A composting toilet is a type of toilet that uses a predominantly aerobic process to treat human excreta by composting or managed aerobic decomposition.
A bio-toilet is a toilet attached to a fermentation tank containing a liquid consortium of especially developed bacteria—aerobic or anaerobic. A composting toilet is a type of toilet that uses a predominantly aerobic process to treat human excreta by composting or managed aerobic decomposition. These toilets typically use no water for flushing and are therefore also called a “dry toilet”.
Under the bio-toilet concept of the DRDO, the bio-digester tank in every toilet is filled with inoculums containing four types of bacteria. The water trap system in the toilet prevents air from getting into the tank, the human waste is processed by anaerobic bacteria in seven chambers in the tank and the methane gas is allowed to escape into the air.
