Please post any more info you get on this sort of thing. Wetlands are now 
becoming common for cleaning water. Using the "ash" subsequently is 
something that could be useful.

Perhaps you'all will remember John Todd's Living Machine designs. I like 
the one that could be adapted to individual home use, the one that uses 
serpentine channels of certain plants that uptake all the nutrients in 
black water. You then put the plants on the compost pile or bury in the 
garden or use for mulch. In freeze areas you would need to cover the 
"machine" with a greenhouse cover of some type.

Although I like the various designs, frankly, once people can get past the 
yuck response, it is much simpler to just put the humanure around fruit 
trees, berry bushes, etc.
