Abstract
Waste disposal apparatus suitable for the collection of waste from a vacuum sewer system, which comprises a tank (1) having a waste inlet (2) and a waste outlet (10, 12) and means (4) for reducing pressure in the tank such that, in use, the waste inlet is above the level of waste in the tank and reduced pressure is maintained above the waste level and waste can thereby be drawn through the waste inlet, in which the tank further comprises an air inlet (6) through which air can be caused to pass into, and thereby cause aerobic digestion of, waste in the tank.
Claims7
Waste disposal apparatus suitable for the collection of waste from a vacuum sewer system, which comprises a tank having a waste inlet and a waste outlet, an air inlet, a separate liquid outlet near the top of the tank, and a single vacuum means for reducing pressure in the tank such that, in use, the waste inlet is above the level of waste in the tank and reduced pressure is maintained above the waste level and waste can thereby be drawn through the waste inlet, and such that, in use, the air inlet is below the level of waste in the tank, and air can be caused to pass into, and thereby cause aerobic digestion of, waste in the tank.
