Our team of researchers at the University of Ghent, Belgium, has created such a filtering system. "We can produce fertilizer and water from urine, only with a simple process and use solar energy," he Sebastiaan Derese, one of the project researchers said.
The urine is collected in a large tank, and then is heated by solar energy before going through a filter, separating the water and other substances such as potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus.
According to scientists at the University of Ghent , although the wastewater treatment system is already there, but the new system using solar power will save more and can be applied in the developing countries or remote areas.
use Its slogan #peeforscience (please because the science that pee), the research team has developed this filtration system at a music festival lasts for 10 days to be held in the center of Ghent. The result, they have collected 1,000 liters of filtered water from the urine of people who attended the festival.
The amount of water collected from the other water filtration systems are rotated recycled again, for processing one Belgian specialties: the beer.
