Abstract

A sewerless recirculating toilet and human waste storage system wherein human waste products and a flushing fluid of a specific gravity less than water are received from a commode, the waste products are separated from the flushing fluid, the separated waste products are stored indefinitely without additional treatment in a state of suspended animation for possible subsequent by-products recovery therefrom and the separated flushing fluid is stored on top of the separated waste products until a portion thereof is recycled back into the commode in a purified state for flushing the commode.
