The scientists have since crafted small batches of Belgian ale from the recycled water. "We call it from sewer to brewer," Sebastiaan Derese, one of the researchers from the University of Ghent, told  Reuters . "We're able to recover fertiliser and drinking water from urine using just a simple process and solar energy." The machine collects urine in a big tank which is then heated in a solar-powered boiler. As the heated water evaporates it passes through a membrane, which separates the H2O from nutrients like phosphorous and nitrogen. Those nutrients can then be used to enrich fertilizers for plants.The water is then diverted to a separate tank. Since the system requires no electricity, the researchers hope it can be used to provide clean drinking water for people in developing coun
