Interesting way to dump the black tank

I saw a motorhome a couple weeks ago, apparently from the 1970s/1980s, that had an interesting way to dispose of black tank contents. It had a thermister in the exhaust pipe, and would slowly spray contents from the tanks into the exhaust stream if the gases were hot enough, effectively incinerating the contents. I think it was made by Dometic.

Anyone hear about a system like this made today, or is this something that is a relic of bygone days?
  • there's nothing like a sunday drive behind a MH with that installed and in operation. Don't know about you guys but driving through somebody's **** is not my cup of tea
  • It was called a Thermasan system and was basically not a good idea. The last one I saw was 37 years ago on a 1978 or 79 motorhome. After the 1980's started, I never saw one again or even advertised to sell and install. Doug
