They electrolyze the piss to produce hydrogen which is burned in the generator. There's a Forbes article which has comments by someone developing this technology for sewage treatment who says that they're getting less energy from the hydrogen than they're putting into the hydrolysis, but it's a good way to purify sewage water.

The electrolysis uses more energy then you get back from the hydrogen, but the hydrogen is easier to purify and when you burn it you get pure water. That means that it's less energy intensive then other sewage treatment methods. It won't provide a net gain in energy, but it can free up some of the energy we use for sewage treatment.

>>16087554
dealing with hydrogen is dangerous anon. very leaky, the leakiest actually since it's the smallest atom of all elements. enclosed space acumulation can make for big boom. you need to factor in them properly dealing with it as well, that adds extra cost, extra carbon spent for that supporting tech.
why isn't everyone using it for purifying water if it's a better solution? think everyone is fucking retarded?

if this is true they did not invent it, this tech has been around for quite awhile *and was of course invented by a white man)

You can produce minimal amounts of energy from pee by allowing it to to rot until it starts gassing off ammonia. Ammonia can be used as a fuel but not easy since the reaction product is nitric acid.
Its easier to sell the urea and use the proceeds to pay a power company to sell you electricity.

It's still being developed and industry is resistant to new innovations. After it's developed and funding is secured then test plants can be built. New installations will choose between the new technology, if they know it exists, or the conventional technology which has better infrastructure and more experts. Oftentimes improvements are never adopted because it's so much easier to rely on existing infrastructure than it is to create new infrastructure.

In what way? Distillation is bound to be more thermodynamically efficient. The process energy recovery can be mimicked by simply preheating the liquid using the condenser, which is going to be more efficient than this bullshit.
>>
>>16090574
Distillation is going to condense a shitload of stuff that isn't water. The electrolysis produces pure hydrogen which is collected and burned to make pure water.

And now that you've ejected that ammonia you've lost a shitload of hydrogen that could have been turned into water.

>doubt it's lossless
Nobody is saying it isn't. The assertion of the person developing it is that it's less energy intensive than current methods, which are not distillation because distillation is more expensive then their method of treatment.

>>16091910
There are ways to minimize the energy consumption. Anon mentioned a simple one which is to heat your feedstock with the condensing gasses. Vapor compression distillation takes that a step further by boiling the solution with the compressed gasses which means it needs a relatively small initial amount of energy to get started and then you just have to put in as much energy as you lose as the process continues.

They laughed at Jules Verne too or something. Or the other way around

>>16087022
You don't even need urine, just get some water, electrolyze it to turn it into hydrogen and oxygen, then turn it back into water to get a ton of energy. Use some of that energy to electrolyze the water again and the cycle repeats. Boom! you've got a perpetual motion machine and all of humanity's energy problems are solved.

What else do you expect to be produced? Nitrogen? Irrelevant. Nitrous oxide? Burns to nitrogen. Hydrocarbons? They burn to water and carbon dioxide.
