Abstract
A sanitary waste disposal unit ( ) including a scalable destruction chamber ( ), a vacuum pump ( ), a source of heat ( ) and means ( ) for the controlled introduction of air into the chamber ( ). In use the waste is introduced on the chamber ( ) which is then evacuated to remove substantially all the oxygen, and heated to sterilize the waste material to approximately 300-500° C. The chamber ( ) is then cooled to approximately 150° C., a temperature sufficiently high enough to allow combustion of the waste material, which has been partially carbonized. A limited quantity of air is introduced into the chamber allowing combustion of the waste material and the combustion products are removed from the chamber.
