Urinal

This was the second time in the last few months that she was asked to install a urinal in a luxury residential project, and she said she knows many other designers and architects who have been specifying home urinals in their projects.

If on the other hand it is to be used by a congregation, which as a rule, only occupy their church once, twice or three times a week, then I would suggest where it can be obtained that an improved “water closet” be used, and by this I mean a urinal and fecal basin, which can be kept clean by liberal flushing with water after each time it is used, and so trapped and ventilated as to absolutely protect the room in which it is placed from any contamination whatever.[…]This same closet can be arranged for urinal purposes by having the lid of the seat for each person attached to a hinge so that it can be raised up when desired to be used for micturation^([sic]) only.

Q. What amount, in cubic feet, would there be in Port Huron for one year, of fecal and urinal discharge into the sewers?

Urinal and fecal wastes were placed in runoff boxes at the base, midpoint and top of 20cm snow packs. The units were subjected to carefully controlled temperature fluctuations ranging from 8 to 12 degrees C. Urinal losses were determined primarily by the quantity of water which passed through the manure layer. Fecal nitrogen losses were much lower than urinal losses.
