3301 The Development of the Drying Toilet System for Railcars

Abstract

The Drying Toilet system has revolutionized how the disposal of excrement and sewage from trains will be conducted, by eliminating the time consuming task of drawing excrement and sewage from trains within maintenance depots. Heat is used to reduce excrement and sewage into a fine carbide powder, which is automatically collected within a non-flammable storage bay for clean and easy disposal. The following summary represents the development of the Drying Toilet System for railcars.
