Urine-diverting vacuum sanitation system, Beijing

Urine diversion vacuum flush toilets were installed in an urban building. Urine collected in the source-separation sitting/squatting toilets as well as the waterless urinals is drained by gravity. Faeces are withdrawn by vacuum suction. There is currently no reuse of urine and brownwater, but they flow to the sewer.
