Urine treatment installation and method for treating urine using such an installation

A urine treatment installation comprising:

• a control unit and a fluid circulation circuit with at least one inlet for supplying urine to the circuit and with at least one outlet from said circuit, said installation comprising, disposed on said circuit, at least one electrolyzer equipped with at least one liquid outlet, and a tank serving to supply urine to the electrolyzer and having the function at least of a buffer tank in order to permit “batchwise” operation, that is to say batch feeding of the electrolyzer from said buffer tank, said buffer tank, in fluidic communication with the electrolyzer, being connected to the electrolyzer by at least one connection equipped with a pump capable of being controlled by the control unit,
• wherein the installation comprises an ultrasound generator positioned downstream of the electrolyzer and in fluidic communication with the or at least one of the liquid outlets of the electrolyzer, in that the ultrasound generator comprises a chamber and an ultrasonic nebulization apparatus housed inside said chamber, in that said chamber is equipped with at least one device for forced circulation of fluid, at least one outlet to ambient air and at least one liquid inlet in fluidic communication with the or at least one of the liquid outlets of the electrolyzer for supplying electrolyzed liquid urine to said chamber, in that said nebulization apparatus is configured to transform at least some of the electrolyzed liquid urine from the electrolyzer into a mist-like cloud of fine particles, and in that the device for forced circulation of fluid is configured to guide the movement of the produced mist in the direction of the or at least one of the outlets to ambient air of said chamber, and in that the pump of the connection between the buffer tank and the electrolyzer is a reversing pump.
