The urine does not automatically flow into the sewer, but is separated and processed via an innovative technology, initially designed for applications in space travel. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p>Pieter Naert, manager and co-founder of Hydrohm, spin-off of Ghent University: "<span><span><span><span>Letting urine get washed away is a waste. Urine contains valuable substances that also burden water purification. Moreover, flushing toilets consumes a lot of water. That is why Hydrohm, a spin-off of Ghent University, invented the innovative URIDIS technology. Through this purification technology, we extract phosphorus and nitrogen from urine and use it as agricultural fertilizers. On the other hand, we produce disinfecting flush water from urine, water and green electricity."</span></span></span></span></p> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--image
