1. Planning and installation
When selecting a location for, and then installing, the Biolan Sepa-
rating Dry Toilet, make sure to allow sufcient space for its use and
maintenance, and route the ventilation pipe straight up through the
roof above the ridge. Collect the liquid in a closed tank for later use,
treat it together with other wastewater from the property, or take it to
the wastewater treatment plant. When dimensioning the liquid tank
and deciding where to locate it, you need to take into account that
the daily amount of liquid from the separating toilet is 1-1,5 litres per
user. The method for post-treating the solid waste should also be
carefully planned, to enable easier servicing of the unit.
Technical specications
- length 78 cm, width 59.4 cm
- sitting height 53 cm
- height 85 cm, 98.5 cm to the batcher's knob
- weight about 16 kg
- inner receptacle 28 l, 2 pcs.
- external diameter of the ventilation pipe 75 mm
- external diameter of the liquid removal pipe 32 mm
1.1 Placing the Separating Dry Toilet in the
toilet space
Install the Separating Dry Toilet at a level position on the oor. When
deciding where to locate the unit, take into account the space required for its ventilation and liquid removal arrangements, and for
its maintenance.
1.2 Installing the ventilation pipe
Route the ventilation pipe from the toilet unit straight up over the
roof ridge. Any bends in the pipe will impede natural ventilation,
causing odour problems. Join up the ventilation pipe as shown in
the detail drawing (page 2), and seal the pipe using a sealant suit-
able for the roong material. As required, extend the ventilation pipe
with a Ø 75-mm sewer pipe, or with the pipe parts that are sold as
spare parts for the toilet.
In complicated installations, or if installing the toilet within living
quarters, it is recommended that the ventilation be ensured using
a separate Biolan Exhaust Ventilator or Biolan Wind Fan. You can
obtain the Exhaust Ventilator either as an option, or retro-t it if it
proves necessary (see Accessories on page EN-6).
Installation example
The picture is indicative only
EN
The exible ventilation pipe (part 19) is easiest to install
when warm, using a screwdriver as a stretching aid. As
necessary, the surfaces can be made slippery using, for
example, dishwashing detergent.
1.3 Conducting the liquid away after separation
Route the liquid after separation from the toilet unit into either the
liquid tank or the sewer system. During installation, provide sufcient gradient to enable the liquid to ow without obstruction all the
way to the drain.
Depending on the installation location, accomplish the lead-through
either as a sewer or as a pipe leading through the wall or the oor.
The diameter of the toilet unit liquid hose is 32 mm. Sewer pipe
parts or a hose 32 mm in diameter are suitable for conducting the
liquid away. We recommend using a coupling sleeve at the pipe or
hose joint.
The toilet unit has no drain trap. If the liquid is routed into a tank,
the hose must extend all the way to the bottom, in which case the
surface of the liquid in the tank makes a drain trap in the hose. Thus
the air cannot ow from the liquid tank back to the toilet unit. The
tank must be provided with either a pressure relief valve or some
other way for the replacement air.
If you intend to route the liquid to the sewer system, your plan should
explicitly take into account the ventilation of the sewer system and
the toilet space.
EN-3
EN
2. Use and maintenance of the Biolan
Separating Dry Toilet
Using and maintaining the Separating Dry Toilet in accordance with
these instructions makes for a much more pleasant experience.
Separation of the liquid and the solid waste requires that the Separating Dry Toilet always be used in the seated position. When using
the unit for the rst few times, verify that your own seating distance
and habits are suitable for it. Also instruct your guests on how the
toilet should be used.
The Separating Dry Toilet is intended for composting toilet waste, including toilet paper. But do not put into it anything that could hamper
the treatment of the waste, such as:
• debris, sanitary towels
• chemicals, lime
• detergents, washing water
• matches, ash, cigarette butts
2.1 Before use
Put a layer of Biolan Compost and Toilet Bulking Material a couple
of centimetres thick on the bottom of the foremost inner receptacle
(part 5). Fill the bulking material container (part 3) with bulking material.
2.2 Using bulking material
There is a bulking material batcher in the bulking material container
at the rear of the toilet unit. To use the batcher, press the batcher
knob (Fig. 1) briskly. The more briskly you press this knob, the farther the bulking material will be thrown. The bulking material does
not need to be added every time the toilet is used; adding it only
after defecation is sufcient.
Applying suitable bulking material is essential for proper operation
of the toilet. For bedding we recommend Biolan Compost and Toilet
Bulking Material or Biolan Peat (see Accessories on page EN-6).
1. Batcher knob
2.3 Year-round use of the toilet
The toilet may be used all year round, if installed in a warm space.
Thermal insulation of the ventilation and liquid removal systems in
cold areas must then, however, be taken into account. Also provide
a sufcient gradient to prevent the liquid from freezing in the pipe.
Installed in a cold space, the toilet can freeze during winter. The
toilet unit is manufactured of frost-proof polyethylene, so freezing
does not damage it. A toilet located in a cold space can be used
occasionally during winter. Empty the liquid tank before the liquid
in it freezes.
If the liquid is collected in a canister, empty the canister in the autumn in order to avoid damage caused by freezing of the liquid. If
the bulking material in the container is moist, it may freeze during
winter. Then the bulking material batcher does not work and you
must apply the bulking material manually.
2.4 Emptying the inner receptacle
There are two separate inner receptacles inside the tank of the Separating Dry Toilet (Fig. 2). Use only one receptacle at a time. When
a receptacle lls up, move it to the back of the unit and put the other
receptacle into use. As required, level the surface of the waste, for
example, with a stick.
The covers for the inner receptacles are intended for use while
transporting the receptacles for emptying. Leave the lid ajar for stor-
ing. Once both receptacles have lled up, empty the one that lled
up rst into the compost. Disconnect the ventilation pipe (Part 21)
from the lid of the toilet for emptying (Fig. 3). The exible ventilation
pipe will ex at this stage so that you will be able to lift the pipe.
Tilt the lid of the toilet unit to the side or lift it off, so that you can lift
the receptacles out of the unit. There is no need to wash the inner
receptacles when emptying them.
When replacing the receptacles, make sure to position the receptacle in use correctly against the separating bowl. Put a layer of
Biolan Compost and Toilet Bulking Material or Biolan Peat a couple
of centimetres thick onto the bottom of the receptacle. Refer to page
EN-5 for instructions for composting the solid waste from the Separating Dry Toilet.

2.5 Emptying the liquid tank
Empty the liquid tank, if necessary. The emptying intervals are determined by the size of the liquid tank and by how often the toilet is
being used. One person produces 1-1,5 litres of liquid daily.
Utilise the liquid that is rich in nutrients, in particular nitrogen, as
fertiliser in the yard and garden. Although urine is sterile, it is recommended to keep it in storage for about three months before using it
in the garden.
You can use a small amount of undiluted liquid as a source of nitrogen for the garden compost and for the compost of separated toilet
waste. Optionally, you can take the liquid to the wastewater treatment plant. More about the utilisation of urine on page EN-5.
2.6 Cleaning the Separating Dry Toilet
Wash and clean the Separating Dry Toilet, as necessary. Any commonly available domestic cleaning agents may be used. You can
disassemble the parts of the toilet to enable proper cleaning of the
unit. Wash the liquid bowl in the top, the liquid funnel (part 17) and
the drain pipe (part 16) with warm water and mild detergent or crystallised sodium at least once a year to remove any precipitate that
the urine may have formed.
3. Problems that may occur
3.1 Odours and moisture
No odour problems occur in the Separating Dry Toilet provided that
it is installed and used in the correct manner. If odour problems occur, check that:
• there is no liquid on the bottom of the toilet tank (part 1). If liq-
uid exists, check the removal hose connection for tightness and
wash the tank to eliminate the odour. Make sure that the foremost inner receptacle is correctly positioned against the rim of
the separating bowl.
• make sure that the ventilation pipe leading from the toilet unit
to the roof, is straight and extends above the roof ridge. If the
ventilation pipe is not straight or does not extend above the roof
ridge, you can repair the installation or improve the ventilation by
installing a separate Biolan Exhaust Ventilator or a Biolan Wind
Fan (see Accessories on page EN-6).
• the hose leading to the liquid canister extends to the bottom of
the canister. This ensures that the surface of the liquid in the
canister forms a drain trap in the hose, preventing air-ow from
the canister towards the liquid bowl.
• the waste in the inner receptacles is always covered with Biolan
Compost and Toilet Bulking Material or Biolan Peat.
3.2 Insects
Insects do not normally exist in the Separating Dry Toilet. But if ies,
for example, appear in the toilet unit, empty both receptacles into a
compost and then wash them. Do away with any ying insects in the
toilet space, using pyrethrin-based spray. Consult your local garden
centre to select a suitable product.
Also check that:
• the waste in the inner receptacles is always covered with Biolan
Compost and Toilet Bulking Material.
• the ventilation pipe leading from the toilet unit to the roof, goes
straight up and extends above the roof ridge. If the ventilation
pipe does not go straight up or does not extend above the roof
ridge, repair the installation or improve the ventilation by installing a separate Biolan Exhaust Ventilator or a Biolan Wind Fan
(see Accessories on page EN-6).
The micro-organisms in the compost decompose organic matter under aerobic conditions. After the composting has continued for 1–3
years the result will be compost soil.
To ensure that the composting is as efcient as possible, provide
the waste-decomposing micro-organisms with favourable living con-
oxygen, moisture and nutrients.

good source of nitrogen supplement.
To ensure that the compost is sufciently airy, use coarse bulking
material or branch chaff in layers among the waste. Compost that is
too tightly packed or too wet is anaerobic and starts to rot and smell.

composted with care, makes excellent soil conditioner for perennial
plants, shrubs, trees and a vegetable plot.
5. Utilisation of liquid
Separated liquid can be utilised as nitrogen fertiliser or diluted with
plants. In the spring, in connection with the initial fertilisation, it can
also be used for a vegetable plot but during the growing season it
must not be applied to green vegetables. The recommended storage time for urine is about three months before it should be used in
the garden. Do not apply urine to plants in the autumn, in order to
avoid disturbing the perennials' preparation for winter.
A safe dilution ratio for urine is 1:5, which means one litre is diluted
with ve litres of water. You can also use undiluted urine, but then
you must water the area carefully after the application to avoid early
blight. Carry out the application when it is cloudy, either early in the
morning or late in the evening, when evaporation of nitrogen and
the odour-related problems are at a minimum. During the growing
season you can apply 1-1,5 l/m² of undiluted urine in your home
garden.
Please consult your local waste advisor for regulations on compost-
ing. Visit www.biolan. for more information on composting and the
utilisation of urine.
Do not allow liquids that are rich in nutrients to enter
the soil, as these cause an excessively concentrated
nutrient load.
6. Disposal of the product
The raw materials used are presented in the list (see page 4) Dis-
collecting-point-specic instructions.
EN
4. Composting the toilet waste
Waste emptied from the Separating Dry Toilet always requires
composting before it can be utilised. You can compost the toilet
waste together with garden waste and domestic bio-waste. While
composting, make sure to observe the local regulations on waste
handling, and consider sufcient protective distances to neighbours,
wells and nearby bodies of water.
Organise the composting so that no liquids seep from the compost
into the soil. The Biolan Garden Composter or the Biolan Stone
Composter (see Accessories on page 8) is well-suited to the purpose. For hygienic reasons, compost the toilet waste for at least a
year before applying it to edible plants. Composting for half a year is
sufcient before application to ornamental plants. Burying waste in
the ground is prohibited.
