Excerpts
from laboratory analyses of the Ekolet compost:
The compost is well broken down. The level of
coliform bacteria is very low, i.e. all hazardous
(potentially harmful to health) micro organisms
are killed during the composting process.
Ekolet compost is an excellent organic fertilizer
as it contains relatively high levels of nitrogen
and phosphorus, which are easily assimilated by
plants.

The extracted liquid meets
the strictest environmental requirements
The liquids extracted from the composter amount to 2
litres per person per day in the year-round model and
1 litre per person per day in the holiday home model.
The liquid is treated as normal household washing water.
According to the laboratory
analyses the EKOLET composting toilet removes
from the toilet wastewater:
· Of the organic substances,
BOD7 (Biological Oxygen Demand) 95% (remaining 1,0 g / person/day)
· Of the phosphorus (P)
64% (remaining 0,6 g / person/day)
· Of the nitrogen (N)
87% (remaining 1,7 g / person/day)
The extracted liquid contains no harmful amounts
of faecal coliform bacteria. |
