  1. The irony of this, is that in any cases, human urine excrement is a critical resource, yet it requires specific reactor processing to each person.

    People taking potential toxic chemicals [ anti neoplastics for example ] will require specific reactor types and designs, and source separation.

  2. > Fertilizer made from city sewage

    This was an absolutely awful idea to begin with.
