How it works: Oxygen

Installation | Moisture | Oxygen | Temperature | Pathogens

Micro-organisms that require oxygen to survive are called aerobes. Organic materials are composted most rapidly by aerobes ~ much more rapidly than the anaerobes used in septic systems.

Aerobes need many cubic metres of oxygen per day for rapid breakdown. Even the small 12 volt ventilation fans in the Nature Loo and Sun-Mar Excel NE supply up to 420 litres of oxygen per minute, more than enough to keep the process going at optimum levels. This has the added advantage of acting as a highly efficient extractor fan to remove odours from the toilet room.
