What is the Janicki Omni Processor?

Sedron Technologies’ Janicki Omni Processor (J-OP) is a decentralized waste treatment system that kills pathogens while recovering valuable resources from fecal sludge, biosolids, and other waste streams. The J-OP aims to make responsible waste treatment economically attractive rather than a cost burden to society.

Who invented the Omni Processor?

Peter Janicki’s
Peter Janicki’s Omni-Processor is a steel machine converts high volumes of human waste—up to 14 tons a day—into electricity and water, while eliminating all pathogens.

How does an Omni Processor work?

The process works by boiling the sewage at a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius in a large drying tube to separate it into dry solids and water vapor. The dry solids are then fired to turn water vapour into steam that is used to power a steam engine and generate electricity.

How much does the Janicki Omni Processor cost?

Unlike some inexpensive but innovative toilets showcased at the 2014 Reinvented Toilet Expo, some of which operated without water or power, the Omni Processor carries a hefty price tag of $1.5 million — though some argue that the machine quickly pays for itself.

Can you turn poop into water?

Poop can now be transformed into clean water in four seconds thanks to a new invention, the Chronicle reports. Researchers at Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering are introducing a reactor that could revolutionize how waste is handled around the world.

How do you extract water from poop?

Here’s how the Omniprocessor works. Sewer sludge feeds into the machine and is boiled inside a large tube. That separates water vapor from the solid waste, and then the two part ways. Water vapor travels up and through a cleaning system that uses a cyclone and several filters to remove harmful particles.

Where is the Omni processor located?

Dakar, Senegal
A pilot project of Sedron Technologies’ Omni Processor was installed in Dakar, Senegal, in 2015 and can now treat the fecal sludge of 50,000-100,000 people.

Did Bill Gates drink water from human feces?

Bill Gates has drunk a glass of water made from human faeces, to showcase technology he said could provide clean water in the developing world. In a video posted on his blog, Mr Gates watched as the human waste was fed into the processor, before drinking the end product from a glass.

Who is biggest landowner in the world?
