本文讨论了尿液分流（UD）试验内实施的机构设置的悉尼科技大学，寻求确定关键问题的公共UD和再利用系统在澳大利亚城市环境的规模。该试验在其跨学科行动研究方法方面是新颖的，其中包括将尿液分流厕所（UDT）视为社会技术系统，在该系统中，探索了用户的实践和感知与技术性能之间的相互作用。虽然该研究探讨了广泛的问题，包括尿液运输，再利用和法规，除其他外，本文提出的工作的边界是公共城市建筑内的UD实践的实用性。还估计了每次小便池使用的尿量，这是商业建筑中无水小便池系统收集尿液的水箱尺寸的重要指标。该项目的结论是，目前的UDT不适合公共/商业空间，但无水小便器具有关键作用。
This paper discusses a urine diversion (UD) trial implemented within the institutional setting of the University of Technology Sydney that sought to identify key issues for public UD and reuse systems at scale in the Australian urban context. The trial was novel in its transdisciplinary action research approach, that included consideration of urine diverting toilets (UDTs) as socio-technical systems where interactions between users' practices and perceptions and the performance of the technology were explored. While the study explored a broad range of issues that included urine transport, reuse, and regulations, amongst others, the boundary of the work presented in this paper is the practicalities of UD practice within public urban buildings. Urine volume per urinal use, an important metric for sizing tanks for collecting urine from waterless urinal systems in commercial buildings, was also estimated. The project concluded that current UDTs are unsuitable to public/commercial spaces, but waterless urinals have a key role.
