I am looking at a brochure on the ZLD and see that the size of the actual ZLD itself is 12 x 18 x 24 not taking into consideration the holding tank if one of the existing tanks are not converted for use. The weight is listed @ 100 lbs, again not counting the addition of an optional holding tank. Cost was not printed although I am sure contacting Namon Nassef at his engineering facility in Pensacola, Florida can provide the proposed cost along with additional facts and specifications on the operation and pratical use on a rv. It operates by eliminating the waste through the exhaust system of the rv and runs off of the electrical source of the rv. With the waste being vaporized, there is not discharge into any sewer system, septic system. The main engine needs to only be run at idle at a minimun to reach the necessary heat temperature to burn off the waste. This should not be a problem at a BLM or boon docking unless posted otherwise.

Has anyone heard of this new product that is about to hit the market? It is supposed to be ready for introduction at the Southeast Area Rally in Brooksville in Feburary 2012. There is a web site www.namonnassef.com explaining it by the inventor of this system. It was one of the top 10 inventions selected by Populat Science for 2011. It was featured in their June 2011 issue. Their web site is www.popularscience.com and at the search bar you enter (JUNE2011 issue). I know there are a number of older RV'rs who remember a system from the past that attempted to do something similar but failed. With the new green technology that is now available, it looks as though Namon Nassef has perfected this technology. JG

That is a very good point regarding the temperatures of any engine at idle. I am sure that has been addressed by the inventor. Obviously the system would work at an optimum when running down the road. It would be great if questions and observations like yours would be presented to Namon Nassef and I for one would like to see FMCA's Technical Advisory Committee take this up with the inventor to see the viability for use on motorhomes. If these issues can be resolved and the ZLD is recognized as a viable option, it would certainly change the way we operate and enjoy experiences in our motorhomes.
