See below for info from another site:
The modern 'green' chemicals are bio-degradable so they break down in the environment rather than polluting it. Note that they simply work as 'pong arresters' so beware of exceeding the four day limit especially in warm weather! The raw chemical has a strong citrus type scent that some find pleasant and others dislike. Broken Link RemovedThe older non-bio chemicals are now banned in many countries and on farm sites, they shouldn't be deposited in public toilets either. Most were/are formaldehyde based and there is now evidence that this can be [HI]harmful to humans especially when the fumes are in a confined space[/HI].

Do you think it could be your diet ?

The most eco friendly solution is to use no chemicals.
We havn't used chemicals for years now and have fitted a SOG extraction system.

seems to empty better if you nip No2 into lumps rather than a full log

we no longer use the chemicals just put a couple of capfuls of the [HI]cheapo washing liquid [/HI]in the cassette.
although i do find it seems to empty better if you nip No2 into lumps rather than a full log

eat more fibre, fruit and veg and you won't have logs..
back on topic..
how long before European vans have a built in vent to the roof for the cassette, ( same as American motorhomes black waste tanks.. ) .. then no need for fan or chemicals..

I would like to question this,How long have you had the sog?In practice you probably paid around 100 quid for the sog (Unless ,like me made my own at zero cost :thumbThat gives you ten quid a yr on bio/chemicals over a ten yr period.Now when I was using blue/green stuff I never used ten quids worth a yr,which is what you would need to do to make the SOG pay for its-self ---Not knocking the SOG or yourselves but it is a rather expensive solution to chemicals.I personally would not consider paying £100 to dump my s--t for what may well be only 4 / 5 yrs before changing the van

How does this work Jim?Is it just a case of fitting a venting pipe up to the roof?If so it could easily be done using a similar pipe extending from the cassette and up to the roof but without the fan

oh:Not that eco friendly -what's wrong with bio stuff @ £2 a ltr The last blue or green stuff I used was about £6 for 1.5 ltr double strengh so you only needed a small amount.Must admit the SOG is easy and I find we empty it more often (should be ME empty it)Your Sog will have paid for itself next yr thenOnly 2 years so far & I agree if you are a clever $*+^&£ you can save even more making your own..........we were originally spending considerably more than £10 a year on chemicals but that depends on many factors affecting how much you use your on-board loo.......
Prior to getting the SOG we had started using the Thetford crystals at £8.99 for 10 sachets, each lasting approx 2 days so at around 100 days a year around £45 ........maybe not the cheapest but the most convenient and supposedly eco friendly.
When we change the van if I feel really tight fisted I could take the SOG with me to the new van
My other point is that the SOG or it's diy version will save messing around with chemicals and save on storage space and time and is truly eco friendly.:thumb:
Was trying to work out if using a 3/4 ins overflow pipe would work and not bother with fanbasically yes...
I modified a SOG for a friend, re routed the exhaust pipe up to the roof.. main reason was his cassette door was next to the hab door..
to work without a fan it may need to be a larger dia pipe.. yanks use a solid PVC pipe of about 1 1/2" dia. . so there is plenty of natural draught..

It would work to a point but you would not get negative pressure in the pan when the flap is open so pongs would not be sucked out and if the wind happened to be in the wrong direction you could get a BLOW BACK

I agree, I think 3/4 " is probably too small to give a good draught without fan assistance ..
however, with the correct cowl fitted a strong wind would give a better suck making blowback unlikely .. and with shutter open the exhaust flow will increase..
I'm only speaking from experience of my RV system which held 50 gals of shit .. couldn't fault it and never ever any pongs in the toilet room..
A cowl may cost money I have all the bits for another SOG for free
