1. Planning and installation
When selecting a location for, and then installing, the Biolan Sepa-
rating Dry Toilet, make sure to allow sufcient 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 specications
- 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 roong 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 suf­cient 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
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 sufcient.
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 sufcient 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 efcient as possible, provide
the waste-decomposing micro-organisms with favourable living con-
oxygen, moisture and nutrients.

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-specic 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 sufcient 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
sufcient before application to ornamental plants. Burying waste in
the ground is prohibited.
