    Since this looks like it would be best used in rural applications with low populations, what benefits does it have over a traditional septic tank system with drain field?

      Mainly that you can save a lot of water and potentially use the nutrients in the urine as fertilizer.

      Urine obviously has a lot of nitrogen that can be made available to plants, but more importantly, it has a lot of phosphorus. Phosphorus is vital to agriculture, but it is largely mined as a non-renewable resource

    We use these at work. We’re contractors who spend one to a few days at residential addresses working outside. Instead of using the customer’s bathroom, each of our enclosed trailers has a toilet built in, so we always have one accessible at our jobsites.
