Summary and conclusions<br />
In the autumn of 1998, Storstrøm County initiated the project "Collection,<br />
storage and utilisation of <strong>urin</strong>e from Møns Museumsgård" (the museum<br />
farmstead of Møn). A summary of the project report is presented below.<br />
Chapter 1: Preface<br />
In order to clarify how <strong>urin</strong>e can be recycled in Denmark, Storstrøm County<br />
initiated the project "Collection, storage and utilisation of <strong>urin</strong>e from Møns<br />
Museumsgård Møns Museumsgård". The project was funded by the<br />
Municipality of Møn, and by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency<br />
through the "Action Plan for the Development of Ecol<strong>og</strong>ic Renewal of Towns<br />
and Wastewater Treatment". The initiators of the project were Møn<br />
Museum/"Museumsgården", Den Grønne Guide på Møn (the Green Guide<br />
of Møn), A & B Backlund ApS (a private limited company) and Storstrøm<br />
County. T<strong>og</strong>ether they developed and planned the project.<br />
The wastewater from "Museumsgården" contains a high quantity of <strong>urin</strong>e and<br />
a small quantity of unidentified substances, and this makes the separation of<br />
<strong>urin</strong>e by way of source-diverting toilets and the utilization of nutrients<br />
reasonable. Contrary to a private house, there are many different users of the<br />
toilets at a museum. This fact makes it possible to test a segregating<br />
wastewater system under somewhat difficult circumstances.<br />
One of the purposes of the project is to collect experience in the installation<br />
and use of a source-diverting toilet system, including a waterless <strong>urin</strong>al, at the<br />
"Museumsgården" and to compare this with experience from Sweden.<br />
Another purpose is to examine the constituents of the <strong>urin</strong>e, including<br />
whether the contents of nutrients, heavy metals, micro organisms, and<br />
xenobiotic organic substances will change d<strong>urin</strong>g storage. Moreover, the <strong>urin</strong>e<br />
collected was compared with other <strong>urin</strong>e mixtures and fertilizers on the basis<br />
of these parameters.<br />
Storstrøm County has not carried out its own test pr<strong>og</strong>ramme, as the Danish<br />
Environmental Protection Agency initiated the project "Assessment of the<br />
possibilities and limitations of the recycling of nutrients from town and<br />
country households " (Dalsgaard & Taarnow, 2001).<br />
The toilet system at the "Museumsgården" was established in April 1999.<br />
Experience from the installation and operation was collected d<strong>urin</strong>g the<br />
opening seasons 1999 and 2000, and partly d<strong>urin</strong>g 2001.<br />
