Abstract A combination of a biological dry toilet and a biological waste water purifying plant. The combination comprises a tank for composting waste, a means for change of air in the tank, and a sludge sedimentation tank. A biofilter is provided through which the water to be purified is circulated. The combination comprises in addition a means for change of air in the biolfilter, a means for circulating the water to be purified in the biofilter, a means for removing the purified water from the sludge sedimentation tank, a means for removing the sludge from the lower part of the sedimentation tank, a means for feeding the water to be purified through the dry toilet, and a means for mechanically purifying said water in the dry toilet. An equalizing basin is included in the waste water purifying plant, the dry toilet being at least partly submerged in said basin.
An integrated domestic sewage disposal and water purification system comprising in combination: a dry toilet tank; an equalizing basin forming a water jacket around said dry toilet tank; a biofilter through which the water to be purified is circulated; a sludge sedimentation tank located below said biofilter and having an upper part and a lower part; first pipe means including a first pump for removing water from the upper part of the sedimentation tank to the biofilter; second pipe means including a second pump for removing sludge from the lower part of the sedimentation tank to a point in the upper part of the dry toilet tank; third pipe means for feeding gray water from the household to filter means inside the dry toilet and then to a collecting basin; fourth pipe means connecting said collecting basin to the equalizing basin; fifth pipe means including a third pump for feeding water from the equalizing basin to the biofilter; and overflow pipe means for discharging excess water from the upper part of the sedimentation tank to ground.
