Airplane dump...?

Question

Have you wondered where they go? When we travel with tour bus, the smell in the back is horrible even for less than 10 hours ride (when everyone is using the bathroom) For long distance flight or airplane, what have they done with the human waste?? And how come we don't smell i t?

Answer 1

Aircraft have large tanks where waste is stored. When the toilet is flushed, a small amount of water and antiseptic fluid goes down the plumbing, into the tank with the waste, so you don't smell it. Water from washing your hands etc also goes into the tank. It stays in the tank until disposed of on the ground.

You don't want to know the method of disposal! You just hope those guys are getting paid a lot.

Answer 2

The waste is held in a tank on the aircraft until it lands, then it's pumped out and disposed of in the normal manner.

Some toilet systems have separate tanks for "blue juice" and waste, while others use one tank.

Two tank systems use fresh blue juice for each flush. They usually rely on suction to clear the bowl and use very little fluid. These are most common on larger aircraft where there's space for two tanks and the associated plumbing.

Single tank systems recycle the blue juice, and the waste, with each flush. There's usually a macerator just below the bowl that liquefies the waste. There's also a separator and fluid pump in the tank that provide filtered fluid for each flush. As you can probably imagine, the fluid in these systems degrades with each use. Eventually, the fluid can no longer overcome the odor of human waste.

Obviously, two tank systems are the superior, and preferred, solution.

Most aircraft dump liquid from the sinks (usually nothing more than soapy water) overboard through a heated mast on the bottom of the aircraft. You can see the masts sticking down underneath the fuselage -- they look like small white blades, similar in appearance to the communication radio antennae.

Answer 3

the might desire to offload is very almost non existent, some plane are actually not even equipped to offload gas. With the accuracy of weight and gas burn calculations carried out by technique of airlines they don't positioned a single pound of better gas on an airliner than they might desire to. the only time this might take place is that in the event that they have been whats talked approximately as tanking They %. up a max load of gas at an airport have been the gas fee have been a lot under the plane's domicile base

Answer 4

it is out into a tank just like on a bus
