Abstract
A self-contained sewage waste disposal system is provided including a housing structure and a toilet bowl adapted to receive human waste and fluid for diluting the waste, transporting the waste and rinsing the bowl is provided in the housing structure. A removable filter cassette is placed in the housing structure in communication with the toilet bowl. The bowl is adapted to be flushed to dump the contents into the filter cassette and to be subsequently refilled. The coarse and fine particles of solid waste material are separated from the fluid received from the bowl by filter material in the cassette. The solid material is stored in the cassette in a compact manner for subsequent disposal upon removal of the cassette from the housing. A pump and interconnected conduits in the housing transport fluid from the interior of the system to fill the bowl after a flush, to transport filtered fluid from the filter cassette to a position for recirculation, and to transport excess fluid from the interior of the housing to the exterior thereof. The recirculated fluid is sanitized and deodorized in the housing. Controls are provided to pass the fluid through the system to facilitate the collection and disposal of sewage waste within the system in a predetermined sequence.
