Sewage elimination by exhaust heat...

Has anybody tried this system? How well does it work?

Clicky
  • The referenced article is for 2011

    Last info is from 2012----inventor looking for investors

    Can't find ANY for sale-----unknown IF it ever went into production

    Would think a MAJOR RV Mfg would have one as option in their model line :S


    Personally I think it was a 'solution' looking for a 'problem'

    Exhaust temps need to be ABOVE 550*F
    At idle my EGTs are only 300*F
    I am NOT going to run my diesel at high Idle to generate high enough EGTs to burn off poop/pee concoction while boondocking
    And if I am driving some where I don't need it cause I have either dumped my waste OR will when I get to next place.

    Just don't see the benefit for all of the added equipment/sensors/energy/troubles VS just plain old dumping of waste tanks
  • Years ago when I was growing up, we lived in Colorado. We had some hippies that lived down the road from us. They had this fancy Catalytic Toilet. They would use said toilet, and once it reached the magic amount (the waste dropped down into a burn can or soemthing), they would lock it down, and fire that puppy up. It would then burn off all the said waste contained there in. They thought it was the greatest invention every made...

    We however were upwind of them (as the wind would blow up the canyon toward us), and we could tell almost every single time they fired up the commode. Burning P**p still smells like burning P**p no matter how much you emulsify it. While I cannot say for certain that this New design would stink as you are driving down the road, I'n not sure if I would want to chance it...or follow you while you are operating it. Just my 2 cents...
