The Separett Villa 9000 is a urine diverting dry toilet that requires electricity.
The Separett Villa 9000 is a urine diverting dry toilet made for both warm and cold climates. It is adapted to be used where there is no sewer system and/or where water resources are scarce. The urine diverting mechanism is made so that households can use the urine as fertilizer for gardens, etc. Separett has distributers in most continents.
The target regions are all places where water is scarce and a sewer system do not exist, toilets have been sold in desert-like conditions in Africa as well as in Greenland. Regions open to nutrient recovery and composting. A cooperation between the manufacturer and a waste management company in Peru has introduced the product in the Latin American market.
