It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced in prior art.
Swachch Bharat Mission talks about action required not only to increase access to toilets but to also eradicate the practices of manual scavenging and adoption of scientific waste management methods. Access to public urinals is a basic requirement, however, public washrooms are difficult to be built everywhere due to problem of water, increased maintenance costs of urinals, high transportation costs, no facility for draining the urinals etc., or at some places like at bus stops etc. There is also demand of temporary public urinals for temporary events, such as in outdoor events and exhibitions, religious places, crowded public places, travel points, conventional centers, grounds, stadiums etc.
Adequate sanitation in public urinals is necessary to promote the viability of permanent or temporary urinal system. Developing countries face challenges in accessing sanitation and hygiene care which is closely associated with the health of people. Therefore, it is important to establish new sustainable and ecofriendly sanitation and handling mechanisms of public urinals.
With proper planning and scientific developments portable public urinal systems can be installed on vehicles and other public places. There are many developments in no cost construction of public toilets/urinals, but waste handling and disposals still lacks efficiency and hygiene standards due to many challenges such as setting up drainage everywhere, already overburdened existing drainage lines. Therefore, the need of the hour is to develop a system for uniform distribution and collection of urine in site to ensure the viability of portable public urinals.
Human urine is an excellent source of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and trace elements for plants. A year-round supply of the human urine in a form that is perfect for assimilation can help farmers.
Therefore, collection and handling of urine in public urinals is an important aspect to manage public urinals in an ecofriendly and hygienic manner. The present invention aims to provide a novel way for collection and handling of public urinals that eliminates the need of drainage, septic tanks and storage tanks. The collected urine is ready-to-use product in farms in an assimilation-perfect form, can be used on road plantation projects, highways divider projects, nearby greenery projects and can be directly poured into any soil carrying a plant.

In one of the preferred embodiments, as shown in Fig. 2, the representative view of the system (10) for uniform distribution and collection of urine in urinals of the present invention having four outlets comprises a funnel (1), one main diverter (J0), one pair of primary diverters (J1a, J1b), one pair of main hollow tubes (30), and two pairs of primary hollow tubes (31a). Each of the main hollow tube of the pair (30) and hollow tubes of the pairs (31a) being placed in opposite directions. The two pairs of proximal hollow tubes (31a) open in urine collection bags (5) of corresponding side.
The system as shown in Fig. 2 can be extended using multiple pairs of hollow tubes and diverters, depending of the suitability and requirement. The multiple pairs of hollow tubes are referred to herein as primary hollow tubes, secondary hollow tubes, and so on. Similarly, the multiple pairs of diverters are referred to herein as primary diverters, secondary diverters, and so on.
As shown in Fig. 3, the representative view of the system (10) for uniform distribution and collection of urine in urinals of the present invention comprises a funnel (1), one main diverter (J0), at least one pair of diverters (J1, J2, J3,….Jn), one pair of main hollow tubes (30), at least one pair of hollow tubes (31a, 31b, 31c, 31d, …, 31n) each of the main hollow tube of the pair (30) and hollow tubes of the pair (31a, 31b, 31c, 31d, …, 31n) being placed in opposite directions, at least one rigid stability structure (41)and urine collection bags (5a, 5b,5c,5d….5n) corresponding to number of open distal ends of the hollow tubes. The outlet (12) of the funnel (1) is coupled to the main diverter (J0). The main diverter (J0) is connected at proximal end (J0p) with the outlet of the funnel (12) and each of the distal ends (J0d) is connected to the proximal end (30p) of the main hollow tube of the pair. The distal end (30d) of each of the main hollow tubes are connected to the proximal ends ((J1p, J2p, J3p, J4p, ….Jnp) of the respective diverter (J1, J2, J3, J4,….Jn). Each of the two distal ends of the pairs of the diverters ((J1d, J2d, J3d, J4d….Jnd) is connected to the proximal ends (31ap, 31bp, 31cp, 31dp, …, 31np) of the pair of the respective hollow tubes (31a, 31b, 31c, 31d, …, 31n). The distal ends (31ad, 31bd, 31cd, 31dd, …, 31nd) of the hollow tubes (31a, 31b, 31c, 31d, …, 31n) open in the urine collection bags (5) hanged at the respective side.
In another embodiment, the system has 8 outlets. The distal ends of the each of the primary hollow tubes are connected to the proximal ends of the secondary diverter.

The system of the present invention thus provides the portable urine disposable units for ease of handling sanitization and hygiene. The system is cost effective and does not require much space and time for installation and unistallation. The system allows urine disposal without any bad odour and also easy handling and transport of the disposed urine, which can be ultimately used in farms to replenish the soil nutrients.
The Fig. 5 depicts the installation of the system in a portable small frame for personal use urinals. The system is installed in portable small frame urinal, as described in Fig. 1, wherein the collection bags employed in the portable small frame(15) are sealed to avoid spillage, odor and to make them user friendly for personal use. The funnel (1)may have a handle (H). The outlet of the funnel (12) is connected to proximal end(13p) of an extendible pipe (13) of desired length and the distal end (13d) of the extendible pipe(13) is connected to the proximal end(J0p) of the main diverter(J0). The distal end(J0da, J0db) of the main diverter(J0) is connected to the proximal end(30ap, 30bp) of the main hollow tubes(30a, 30b) on either side. The distal ends of each of the main hollow tubes of the pair (30ad, 30bd) is fitted in tightly with proximal end(51p) of a straw (51), the distal end(51d) of the straw (51) is kept inside the collection bag (5). The portable small frame(15) deployed with the system of the present invention is very useful for disabled and bed ridden people and does away with the dependency on caretakers all the time for urination.
The present invention also provides a method for uniform distribution and collection of urine in urinals. The user disposes the urine in the receptacle/inlet of funnel. The urine passes from funnel to the pair of the main hollow tubes such that the urine from funnel is uniformly distributed in each of the main hollow tube of the pair. Urine from each of the main hollow tube of the pair passes to the pair of hollow tubes of each side. The urine is distributed uniformly in the corresponding hollow tubes at the distal end of the each of the diverter.
The system is based on pipe distribution network. The working of the system is tested by conducting experiments with various thickness and diameters of main hollow tubes (30) and hollow tubes (31a, 31b, 31c, 31d, …, 31n).
In a preferred embodiment, the system is implemented with the ideal diameter, thickness and cross-sectional area required for a tube (main hollow tube and/or hollow tube) to get steady urine flow based on human discharge, which are found as follows:
Inner diameter of hollow tubes: 0.3 cm to 0.7 cm
Outer diameter of hollow tubes: 0.4 cm to 0.8 cm
Cross sectional area: 0.10 cm square to 0.15 cm square
In a more preferred embodiment, the system is implemented with the ideal diameter, thickness and cross-sectional area required for a tube (main hollow tube and/or hollow tube) to get steady urine flow based on human discharge, which are found as follows: Inner diameter of hollow tubes: 0.5 cm
Outer diameter of hollow tubes: 0.6 cm
Cross sectional area: 0.12 cm square
EXAMPLE 1:
In an example, the system with 4 outlets shows equal distribution of urine.
If,
Q denotes the quantity of urine at the respective diverter,
QJn denotes quantity of urine passing through Jnth diverter,
QDn denotes quantity of urine passing through nth outlet of distal end of hollow tubes,
QJ0 denotes quantity passing through the main diverter (J0),
Then,
QJ0= QJ1+QJ2
QJ1= QD31a+QD31c
QJ2= QD31b+QD31d
EXAMPLE 2:
In an example, the system with 8 outlets shows equal distribution of urine.
If,
QJn denotes quantity passing through Jnth diverter
QDn denotes quantity passing through nth outlet of distal end of hollow tubes
Then,
QJ1=QJ3+QJ6
QJ3=QD31e+QD31f
QJ4=QD31g+QD31h
QJ2=QJ31i+QJ31j
QJ5=QD31k+QD31l
All the diverters (J0, J1, J2, J3, J4, J5, J6) are aligned straight in constant position and fixed through a rigid stability structure (41) which will equate the inflow and outflow rate. The length of main hollow tubes (30) and hollow tubes (31a, 31b, 31c, …, 31n) can vary as far as the diverters are fixed in straight position.
EXAMPLE 3:
In the trial process it was identified that if cross-sectional area of the hollow tubes (31a, 31b, 31c, …, 31n) is kept optimum the odor of urine is minimized up to 90%. Remaining 10% odor can be easily controlled by camphor balls, thereby completely eliminating the use of water.
EXAMPLE 4:
The system was installed in a facility placed at market place in Jalna Maharashtra without any water tank or drainage connection. It took only 10 sq. feet of space to install it.
EXAMPLE 5:
The system is installed in urinal of a fabricated cubicle frame. No mess, no smell and untidiness was found around even after the urinal was used by more than 500 people for almost 15 days.
EXAMPLE 6:
Compostable leak proof bags were used as Urine collection bags to collect the urine. The bags were placed at the end of every outlet. The outlet pipe was attached with a sensor which detected the level of urine. After filling 75% capacity of the urine collection bag, the sensor started to give indication to replace the new bags. The bags were very easy to replace with help of waste collection process and was dumped in organic waste. It is factual that uric acid present in the urine can speed up the decomposition process in waste lands.
EXAMPLE 7:
The bags were measured with respect to the weight to check the equal distribution in the pairs of tubes. The urine was almost divided equally in all the bags. The reason for dividing urine is to divide and reduce the weight of urine collection bags so that it is easy to pickup and transport. It is also observed that using 0.5 cm of tube diameter reduces urine odor.
Bag 1 weight 3.1 kgs Bag 2 weight: 2.6 kgs
Bag 3 weight: 2.8 kgs Bag 4 weight: 3.4 kgs
Applications of the system for uniform distribution and collection of urine:
1) System can be put up wherever there is problem of drainage and water including public places, schools, tourist place, travel spots, outdoor events and exhibitions, local market places or travel stops.
2) It also enables strong possibilities of reusing collected urine for :
- Nitrogen based urea use in agriculture
