Abstract

A urine treatment Installation (1) has a fluid circulation circuit (2) with at least one inlet (3) for supplying urine to the circuit (2) and at least one outlet (4) from said circuit (2). The installation (1) has disposed on said circuit (2), at least one electrolyzer (5) equipped with at least one liquid outlet (52). The installation (1) further has, disposed on the circuit (2), at least: a tank serving to supply urine to the electrolyzer (5) and having the function at least of a buffer tank (7) in order to permit “batchwise” operation, that is to say batch feeding of the electrolyzer (5) from the buffer tank (7), and an ultrasound generator (6) positioned downstream of the electrolyzer (5) and in fluidic communication with the or at least one of the liquid outlets (52) of the electrolyzer (5).

Abstract

An installation is provided (1) for treating excrement comprising a urine treatment unit (3) and a fecal matter combustion station (5) The urine treatment unit (3) has a station (4) for converting urine into dihydrogen, and the fecal matter combustion station (5) has, housed inside a combustion chamber (6), a dihydrogen-powered burner (7). The treatment installation (1) has a fluidic connection (8) between the station (4) for converting urine into dihydrogen and the fecal matter combustion station (5) so as to allow the burner (7) to be supplied with dihydrogen from the dihydrogen produced at the station (4) for converting urine into dihydrogen. The installation has an excrement collection station (2) with a urine collecting part (2A) connected to the inlets (41) of the station (4) for converting urine into dihydrogen by a fluid circulation circuit (9), and a separate fecal matter collecting part (2B) connected to the combustion chamber (6) without the connection passing through the urine treatment unit (3).

Abstract

The invention relates to a urine treatment installation (1) comprising a fluid circulation circuit (2) with at least one inlet (3) for supplying the circuit (2) with urine and at least one outlet (4) from said circuit (2), the installation (1) comprising, positioned on said circuit (2), at least one electrolyser (5) equipped with at least one liquid outlet (52). Said installation (1) further comprises, positioned on said circuit (2), at least: a reservoir for supplying the electrolyser (5) with urine acting at least as a buffer tank (7) to allow so-called "batch" operation, which is to say to allow the electrolyser (5) to be supplied in batches from said buffer tank (7), and an ultrasound generator (6) positioned downstream of the electrolyser (5) and in fluidic communication with the or at least one of the liquid outlets (52) of the electrolyser (5).
