An incinerating toilet is a type of dry toilet that burns human feces instead of flushing them away with water, as does a flush toilet.[1]
Incinerating toilets are used only for niche applications, which include:
- Apartments with limited or difficult access to waste plumbing.
- Houses without access to drains, and where building a septic tank would be difficult or uneconomic.
- On yachts and canal barges, as an alternative to a Blackwater holding tank, which needs to be pumped out occasionally.
- On mobile homes, RVs and caravans/(trailers).
Incinerating toilets may be powered by electricity, gas, dried feces or other energy sources.[2][3] Incinerating toilets gather excrement in an integral ashpan and then incinerate it,[4] reducing it to pathogen-free ash.[5] Some will also incinerate "grey water" created from showers and sinks.
