1. A compact portable evaporative toilet comprising:
a portable enclosure supporting a toilet seat communicating with an opening into the enclosure; a thermostatically controlled electric heating element disposed in the enclosure; an air flow design that draws air into the enclosure from an area surrounding toilet seat; an evaporating catchment chamber within the enclosure for catching solids and liquids that fall into the enclosure through the opening, the evaporating catchment chamber heating and drying the solids and evaporating the liquids, the evaporating catchment chamber being thermally coupled to the thermostatically controlled electric heating element, a closed loop electrical control circuit that controls the thermostatically controlled heating element to maintain a constant sanitizing temperature to kill pathogens and evaporate liquids in the evaporating catchment chamber;
an air outlet structured to couple said enclosure to an exhaust vent, said air outlet permitting air to circulate through said enclosure before being exhausted from said enclosure into the exhaust vent, the air outlet providing one-way air flow down and away from the toilet seat, thereby pulling odors out of the enclosure and into the exhaust vent; anda blower fan placed to create an airflow that pulls air through the enclosure, over the solids and the liquids to maintain constant evaporative air flow, the blower fan running continuously whenever the toilet is operating to evaporate the liquid into the atmosphere and sanitize and dehydrate the solids for hygienic disposal,wherein the toilet provides zero discharge sanitation that emits no harmful effluent to any water source. |
