1. Planning and installation
When selecting the location for and erecting the Composting Toi-
let Biolaneco,itisessentialtoprovidesufcientspaceforuseand
maintenance of the toilet, to route the ventilation pipe without any
bends through the roof over the ridge and to locate the seep liquid
canister in a suitable place. See the dimension drawing for the
toilet unit (page 2).
Placethetoiletunitdirectlyonsufcientlyrmgroundorconcrete
surface.Donotplacethetankonaboardedoor,becauseofpos-
sible seepage from the lower door.
1.1 Technicalspecications
-top area 65 x 65 cm
-total height to the top 97 cm, to the seat cover 103 cm
-volume about 200 l
-weight about 24 kg
-external diameter of liquid removal hose 32 mm
-external diameter of ventilation pipe 75 mm, length 2 x 100 cm
1.2 To be observed if used in winter
If you plan to use the toilet continuously in winter, install the unit
in a warm space and also make sure that the drain hose and the
seep liquid canister do not freeze. If installing the toilet in a warm
space indoors, insulate the ventilation pipe of the toilet where it
runs through cold spaces, for example, in the intermediate roof
space, to prevent condensation of water.
The toilet can be used occasionally in winter (= weekend use)
even if the unit is located in a cold space. See point 2.7.
1.3 Locating the Composting Toilet
Biolaneco in the toilet space
Install the Composting Toilet Biolanecothroughtheoorsothatthe
top of the compost tank (part 9) will serve as the seat ring. The
height of the unit is 97 cm and normally the seat height is 45–50
cm.Leaveabouthalfoftheunitundertheoorofthebuildingto
achieve a comfortable seat height.
Optionally, you can place an appropriate elevation in front of the
seat. If you want, you can encapsulate the seat part out of sight.
In this case, also provide a hole in the wooden top for the replace-
ment air valve (Part 12).
Using for example a keyhole saw or a jig saw, cut a suitable hole
forthetoilet unitoutoftheoorusingthesawingtemplateasa
guide. Depending on the manufacturing technique, the size and
shape of the tank vary slightly. This means you may have to en-
largetheholeabitortheseamoftheoorandthetankwillnot
be completely tight. You can make the seam neat, for example, by
xingathickhempropeattheseam.
1.4 Direction of the emptying door
You can install the toilet unit with the emptying door (part 3) at its
lower part facing either the rear or sidewall of the building. If the
emptying door faces the sidewall, turn the seat top of the toilet unit
tothesittingposition.Removethetopbyjerkingitrmly.Leavea
fair-sized maintenance door (with a minimum width of 80 cm and
minimum height of 35 cm) in the lower part of the toilet building for
the emptying of toilet waste.
1.5 Installing the ventilation pipe
There are two Ø 75 mm holes in the seat top – one for the replace-
ment air valve (part 12), the other for the ventilation pipe (part 13).
The holes are identical, so as required you can switch the ventila-
tion pipe and the replacement air valve. Route the ventilation pipe
from the toilet unit straight up over the roof ridge. Any bends in
the ventilation pipe impede natural ventilation, causing odour and
moisture problems. Seal the lead-through on the roof using seal-
antsuitablefortheroongmaterial.Thesealantcanbepurchased
from any hardware store.

Example picture of toilet installation and placing the liquid canis-
ter.

EN-4
If installing the toilet in a warm space indoors, insulate the ven-
tilation pipe of the toilet where it runs through cold spaces, for
example, in the intermediate roof space, to prevent condensation
of water.
If you have to make some bends, take note that the curvature
of such bends must not exceed 33 degrees. You can boost the
ventilation and evaporation of moisture by means of the optional
Biolan Wind Fan (see Accessories on page EN-8). In complicated
installations or when installing the Composting Toilet Biolaneco in a
residential location, it is recommended to use an additional Biolan
Exhaust Ventilator, which can be installed in the ventilation pipe
(see Accessories on page EN-8). As required, you can even retro-
ttheventilator.
Where necessary, the ventilation pipe can be extended using the
ordinary grey sewage pipes and ttings (diameter 75 mm). You
can purchase ventilation pipes (part 13) also as spare parts from
the Biolan web shop or ask your dealer to order these for you.
1.6 Leading off the seep liquid
The liquid separator plate at the bottom of the Composting Toilet
Biolaneco enables separation of excess liquid – the seep liquid –
from the compost mass. This plate is removable, so you can take
it away for cleaning, as required. Place the plate into the recess in
the bottom of the Composting Toilet Biolaneco.
Connect the seep liquid pipe to the drain hole in one side of the
toilet unit. Route the pipe into a canister. Bury the canister in the
ground,orplace itsomeotherwaysothattheseepliquidows
by gravitation into the canister. Keep in mind possible use of the
toilet in winter when laying the seep liquid pipe and locating and
insulating the canister.
Where necessary, the ventilation pipe can be extended using sew-
agepipesandttings(75mmindiameter).Youcanpurchaseliq-
uid pipe also as a spare part from the Biolan web shop at www.bio-
lan.oraskyourdealertoorderthisforyou.Alwaysusesleeves
with a sealing ring for joining up the pipes.
Route the hose into a canister that you have placed in such a way
thattheliquidwillowbygravityalone.Ifyouwant,youcanbuild
anexternallyinsulatedpitwithacoveroflm-facedplywood(as
showninFigure1onpage5).Iftheseepliquidcanisterisdifcult
to bury in the ground, you can replace it with a smaller canister or
an evaporating pan. The evaporating pan must be provided with
an overhead rain lid – non-fertilised Biolan Peat is recommended
for neutralisation of odours (see Accessories on page EN-8). If you
want, you can lay the canister on its side.
The amount of seep liquid from the Composting Toilet Biolaneco is
small, depending on the use, about 0.2 to 0.5 litres/user/per day.
The seep liquid, however, is extremely rich in nutrients and must
notbeallowedtoentersoilwithoutbeingtreatedrst.
Liquids rich in nutrients must not be allowed to enter
the soil as they cause an excessively concentrated
nutrient load.
2. Use and maintenance of the
Composting Toilet Biolaneco
Proper use of the Composting Toilet Biolanecoallowsmoreefcient
composting of the mass, and enables more convenient use and
emptying of the composter. Thanks to the thermal insulation of the
toilet,compostingofthewasteisefcientandthusthecapacityof
the toilet unit is increased as the waste is greatly compressed as a
result of decomposition.
The composting process starts as soon as there is a sufcient
amount of waste in the composter, i.e. normally the unit is half-full
of waste. The composting process is understood to start when the
temperature of the mass inside the toilet rises above the outside
air temperature. The temperature is raised and maintained by the
vital functions of the micro-organisms that are created in the com-
poster provided that waste is added regularly. After start-up, the
waste reaches the cover soil stage in 6-7 weeks.
The amount of seep liquid created is greatest at the start, but is
reduced as a result of warming up of the compost mass and evap-
oration.
2.1 Before putting the Composting
Toilet Biolaneco to use
Make sure that the air channel (part 8) inside the compost tank
is still in place after transportation. The channel must rest on the
sill on the inside wall of the tank so that the inlet air valve (part 5)
abovetheemptyingdoorwillallowunobstructedairowintotheair
channel. The air inlet valve cannot be adjusted.
Put a layer approximately 5 cm thick (about 20 l) of Biolan Com-
post and Toilet Bulking Material (see Accessories on page EN-8)
on the bottom of the Composting Toilet Biolaneco to prevent the
liquid separator plate (part 7) from getting blocked.
2.2 Adjusting the replacement air
valve in the seat top
Ventilation of the toilet is controlled by means of the replacement
air valve (part 12) in the seat top.
Keep the replacement air valve open during summer to ensure the
ventilationremains efcientandtheevaporationofliquidsinten-
sive. Keep the replacement air valve almost closed during winter
to reduce heat loss from the compost. When the toilet is not in use,
keep the seat lid closed to ensure correct operation of the
ventilation.
2.3 Air channel in the toilet tank
Operation of the Composting Toilet Biolaneco is very effective be-
cause of the air channel (part 8) inside the toilet unit. The channel
brings the air required by the compost to the centre of the com-
post mass – to the layer where it is most needed. At the same
time, the air channel prevents the compost mass from packing on
the bottom and keeps the mass elevated during emptying. The
air channel is visible at the initial stage, but after that, it is virtually
obscured by the mass all the time.
2.3.1 Adjusting the inlet air valve above the
emptying door
The inlet air valve above the emptying door (parts 4 and 5) cannot
be adjusted. Its purpose is to bring air into the air channel (part 8).
See point 2.3.

EN-5
2.4 What can be placed in the
Composting Toilet Biolaneco
The Composting Toilet Biolaneco is intended for composting toilet
wasteaswellashousehold bio-waste.Kitchenwasteintensies
the composting process by balancing and diversifying the nutrition
base of the compost. On the other hand, there are risks involved
incompostingkitchenwaste.Piecesofmeatandsh,especially
whenleftintheopen,mayattractiesintothecomposttank.Cov-
er the waste with bulking material with care.
Do not put into the toilet anything that hampers the composting
process or does not compost, such as:
-debris, sanitary towels
-chemicals, lime
-detergents, washing water
-ash, cigarette butts, matches
You can put into the toilet paper towelettes intended for cleaning
hands or for intimate hygiene.
2.5 Using bulking material
After every time the toilet is used, apply approximately 0.2-0.5 li-
tres of Biolan Compost and Toilet Bulking Material over the left
matter. Note that bulking material must also be applied after urinat-
ing. Applying suitable bulking material is essential for proper op-
eration of the toilet. For bedding we recommend Biolan Compost
and Toilet Bulking Material (see Accessories on page EN-8).
2.6 Using the activator
Do not use activator in the toilet. It is not necessary, as the nitrogen
contentofthetoiletwasteissufcientevenwithoutadditionofthe
activator.
2.7 Year-round use of the
Composting Toilet Biolaneco
In a toilet located in a non-heated space, the mass will cool down
and may even freeze in severe frost or if the use is occasional.
Freezing damages neither the unit nor the compost mass itself
and the composting process continues when the temperature ris-
es. To reduce leakage of the seep liquid, we recommend using a
double dosage of Biolan Compost and Toilet Bulking Material in
the winter. Empty the seep liquid canister in the autumn to prevent
it from cracking due to freezing. Empty the toilet unit approximately
to half-full in the autumn to provide space for the mass that will ac-
cumulate in the winter.
If the toilet is to be used daily also during the cold season, locate
the unit in a heated space. See point 1.2.
2.8 Emptying the Composting Toilet
Biolaneco
Only empty from the Composting Toilet Biolaneco compost that has
reached the cover soil stage, and leave the raw waste still in the
tank.Toenableanefcientuninterruptedcompostingprocess,we
recommend that no more than half of the mass be discharged from
the unit at a time. Toilet waste matures to cover soil stage in 5-8
weeks, after which it can be emptied. Do not empty the tank until
ithasbecomefullforthersttime.Thereisnoneedtowashthe
toilet tank internally when emptying it.
Toilet waste can be so tough that it does not drop down onto the
bottom of the toilet unit by itself after the emptying. If this is the
case, push the mass down using a stick or the Compostmixer (see
Accessories on page EN-8). This is easiest to begin from the cor-
ners. Be careful not to break the air channel (part 8) in the centre
of the toilet unit.
If the toilet is to be used only in summer, empty it in spring before
usingitforthersttime.Theemptyingprocessismostconvenient
and easiest at this stage. If the compost mass is still frozen during
emptying, thaw it by pouring a bucket of hot water through the seat
ring opening a few hours before emptying.
2.9 Emptying the seep liquid canister
Keepaneyeonthellingpaceoftheseepliquidcanister,inpar-
ticular at the initial stage of use, until the emptying interval set-
tles down. Empty the seep liquid canister as required, however,
at least once a year. You can utilise the seep liquid, that is rich
innutrients,asasourceofnitrogenforcompost.Thisintensies
the activity of in particular the garden compost, which is poor in
nutrients but rich in carbon. This way, you do not have to dilute the
seep liquid.
You can also use seep liquid as fertiliser for ornamental plants in
the yard and garden. A safe dilution ratio is 1:5. Undiluted seep
liquid can also be used, but then you must water the area carefully
after the application to avoid early blight.
Fertilising in the autumn is not recommended so as not to disturb
the preparation of perennial plants for winter. The recommended
storing time for the seep liquid before use as fertiliser is approxi-
mately one year.
Please consult your local waste advisor for regulations
on composting. Visit www.biolan. for more informa-
tion on composting and the utilisation of urine.
2.10 Cleaning the Composting Toilet
Biolaneco
As required, you can remove the thermal seat of the Composting
Toilet Biolaneco, and wash it using any common domestic cleaning
agents. Likewise, you can wash the unit externally using domestic
cleaning agents.
There is no need to wash the toilet tank internally when emptying
it.
Check the seep liquid pipe and the liquid separator plate as well
as the seep liquid chute below it once a year and clean them, as
required.

EN-6
3. Post-treatment and use of
the compost
3.1 Need for post-composting
Compost soil changes and develops constantly. It should be used
in a different manner in different stages of its development. Typi-
cally compost soil is divided into two groups based on its maturity:
cover soil and compost soil.
In general, the compost mass emptied from the Composting Toilet
Biolaneco has already matured to the cover soil stage. Because of
seep liquid leaching through the compost, the compost is recom-
mended exclusively for ornamental plants.
If you intend to use it for a vegetable plot, post-compost it for about
a year in order to exterminate microbes. During post-composting
the cover soil matures into compost soil. Correctly used, the com-
post soil is excellent soil conditioner and fertiliser to plants.
3.2 Using cover soil
By cover soil we mean the semi-mature compost mass. At this
stage, decomposing has reached a level where toilet waste and
possible food waste have already decomposed. Harder wood
matter and, for example, eggshells and citrus fruit peels may not
yet have completely decomposed; thus the cover soil has quite a
rough look. In the Composting Toilet Biolaneco, this stage is reached
in 5 to 8 weeks. The semi-mature compost soil may still possess
substances that prevent growth. Hence it must not be used as
growing substrate. The cover soil, i.e. the half-mature compost, is
not harmful to the plants, if it is spread to cover the planting area
of ornamental plants as a layer of a few centimetres. A suitable
thickness for the layer to be applied is about 2-5 cm.
3.3 Maturing cover soil to compost
soil
If the cover soil is post-composted, it will mature into proper com-
post soil. You can post-compost the cover soil, for example, in a
stack or in a non-insulated composter, because maturing compost
soil does not heat up any longer. For post-composting, it is advis-
able to use a composter with a cover, such as (e.g.) the Biolan
Garden Composter (see Accessories on page EN-8) or the Bio-
lan Stone Composter (see Accessories on page EN-8) to prevent
rainwaterfromushingawaythewater-solublenutrients.Inabout
a year, the compost matures into compost soil of a dark brown
colour and aggregate structure, from which source substances,
except for bigger wood splinters, can no longer be distinguished.
3.4 Testing the maturity of the
compost soil at home
The maturity of the compost soil can easily be tested at home by
sprouting garden cress.
-Fill two pots: one with compost and the other one with growth
peat.
-Sow the seeds, cover with plastic and place the pots in a sunny
place.
-In two weeks you can judge from the result whether the com-
postissufcientlymatureornot.Iftheplantssproutsigni-
cantly better in the pot with peat, the compost still contains
substances that impede growth.
The compost is not mature, if the seeds germinate, but the plants
soon wither away.
4. Problems that may occur
4.1 Odour
If correctly installed, used and maintained, the room space where
the Biolan Composting Toileteco is located, remains odourless.
Odour occurs only for a short while after the seat ring lid is lifted
up. This is normal with natural ventilation.
If continuous odour problems persist:
-check that the ventilation pipe has not been blocked.
-check that the ventilation pipe is routed from the toilet unit
(part 13) straight up to the roof, and that it extends over the
roof ridge. If the ventilation pipe is not straight or does not
extend over the roof ridge, repair the installation or improve the
ventilation by installing a separate Biolan Exhaust Ventilator or
a Biolan Wind Fan (see Accessories on page EN-8). You can
also improve the ventilation by extending the ventilation pipe.
-make sure that the seep liquid removal system is operational:
the excessive liquid is separated into the canister and will not
spill out from the emptying door to a large extent. As required,
clean the liquid separator plate (part 7), the seep liquid chute
and the seep liquid pipe.
-make sure that the bulking material used is Biolan Compost
and Toilet Bulking Material (see Accessories on page EN-8). If
amixtureofpeatandwoodshavingsorotherbeddingsofne
texture is used, the compost mass may be packed too tightly.
-makesurethatasufcientamountofBiolanCompostand
Toilet Bulking Material, about 0.2-0.5 litres, has been applied
after each use. Note that bulking material must also be applied
after urinating.
4.2 Insects or maggots
Themostcommoniesinthecompostingtoiletsaresmallfungus
gnats,fruitiesetc.Usingaynetdoesnotpreventthesetinyies
fromenteringthecompost.Theymaggotsarelightincolour,and
can try to get out of the toilet unit via the seat part, if the conditions
inside the toilet are too hot for them.
Thepresenceofiesinthecompostoftenindicatesthatthecom-
post mass is too wet. See also point 4.3.
-make sure that the bulking material used is Biolan Compost
and Toilet Bulking Material (see Accessories on page EN-8).
Some beddings (e.g. fresh chips of deciduous trees) attract
iestothecompost.ThepinebarkusedintheBiolanCompost
and Toilet Bulking Material, however, acts as a repellent.
-add a thick layer of bulking material on top of the compost.
-doawaywithanyyinginsectsinthetoiletspaceusingpyre-
thrin-based spray. Consult your local garden centre to select
a suitable product. Repeat the spraying at intervals of at least
two-three days to exterminate the new generations emerging
from eggs and maggots. Spray insecticide also inside the toilet
unitandclosethelid.Repeatthesprayinguntilyinginsects
no longer can be spotted.

EN-7
4.3 Moisture
When the composting process is at its most effective, it is normal
that the bottom surface of the seat ring lid is moist. However, if
there is a lot of moisture on the seat ring lid and on the sides of the
seat ring, something is wrong.
Normally the problem occurs in the air outlet system or in the liquid
separator system.
-make sure that the replacement air valve (part 12) in the seat
top is open.
-make sure that the ventilation pipe (part 13) has not been
blocked.
-check that the ventilation pipe is routed from the toilet unit
straight up to the roof, and that it extends over the roof ridge.
If the ventilation pipe is not straight or does not extend over
the roof ridge, you can repair the installation or improve the
ventilation by installing a separate Biolan Exhaust Ventilator or
a Biolan Wind Fan (see Accessories on page EN-8). You can
also improve the ventilation by extending the ventilation pipe.
-make sure that the seep liquid removal system is operational:
the excessive liquid is separated into the canister and will not
spill out from the emptying door to a large extent. As required,
clean the liquid separator plate (part 7), the seep liquid chute
and the seep liquid pipe.
-make sure that the bulking material used is Biolan Compost
and Toilet Bulking Material (see Accessories on page EN-8).
-makesurethatasufcientamountofBiolanCompostand
Toilet Bulking Material, about 0.2-0.5 litres, has been applied
after each use. It may prove necessary to double the usage of
bulking material temporarily.
4.4 Liquid runs out from around the
emptying door
At the initial stage, when the toilet is still half empty, or in the case
of overloading, some liquid may leak out from around the empty-
ing door.
-if it is not a question of initial stage of use or an overloading
situation, clarify potential reasons in accordance with point 4.3.
4.5 Incomplete composting of waste
The reason for incomplete composting of waste is usually that the
mass is either too dry or too wet.
If a lot of decomposed toilet paper is detected while emptying the
compost, the amount of liquid has been too small in relation to the
volume of dry matter.
-make sure that the amount of urine supplied into the toilet is
sufcient.Ifthisisnotthecase,someliquidmustbeadded.
Urine is best for the purpose, but even water will do.
If the compost is wet or reeks when emptied, its liquid content is
too high.
-make sure that the seep liquid removal system is operational:
the excessive liquid is separated into the canister and will not
spill out from the emptying door (part 3) to a large extent. As
required, clean the liquid separator plate (part 7), the seep
liquid chute and the seep liquid pipe.
If the liquid separator system is working properly, the mass is wet
for some other reason.
-make sure that the bulking material used is Biolan Compost
and Toilet Bulking Material (see Accessories on page EN-8).
-makesurethatasufcientamountofBiolanCompostand
Toilet Bulking Material, about 0.2-0.5 litres, has been applied
after each use.
-make sure that the replacement air valve (part 12) in the seat
top is open.
-check that the ventilation pipe has not been blocked.
-check that the ventilation pipe is routed from the toilet unit (part
13) straight up to the roof, and that it extends over the roof
ridge. If the ventilation pipe is not straight or does not extend
over the roof ridge, you can repair the installation or improve
the ventilation by installing a separate Biolan Exhaust Ventila-
tor or a Biolan Wind Fan (see Accessories on page EN-8). You
can also improve the ventilation by extending the ventilation

4.6 The mass does not drop down by
itself after the emptying
It is normal that the toilet waste is tough, sticks to the toilet walls,
and does not drop down by itself after the emptying.
-drop the mass down by pushing through the seat opening us-
ing either the Compostmixer (see Accessories on page EN-8)
or a sturdy stick. Dropping is easiest to begin from the corners.
Be careful not to break the air channel (part 8) in the centre of
the toilet unit.
4.7 The amount of seep liquid
entering the canister is larger than
normal
Usually the amount of seep liquid accumulated in the canister is
about 0.2-0.5 litres/user/day of operation. If the amount of liquid
accumulated is larger than this
-check the potential reasons in accordance with point 4.3.
-also note that the amount of seep liquid extracted at the initial
stage of use is usually larger than in normal use and stabilises
overtimeasthetoiletislledwithcompostingmass.
-check whether the way the toilet is used has changed, or if
overloading has occurred.
