Boeing 787 toilets, like those on most commercial aircraft, use a vacuum system to flush and store waste, drawing it into a holding tank through a series of pipes via a powerful suction.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
-
When you press the flush button, a valve opens at the bottom of the toilet bowl, exposing it to a pneumatic vacuum.
-
This vacuum sucks the waste and blue cleaning fluid into a "closed waste system" or holding tank through a series of pipes.
-
The toilet suction works by pressure difference, with the toilet bowl connected to a waste tank kept at lower pressure.
-
When on the ground, a pump is used to create a vacuum.
-
In the air, the pressure difference is created using the lower external pressure compared to the pressurized cabin.
-
The waste collected in the holding tank is stored until the aircraft lands.
