Hi,
Here is the info from NASA on recycling urine.
Wildbill
Water Regeneration: All wastewater -- shower water and other personal
hygiene water including urine -- is recycled and reused. Urine is
processed differently than other wastewater by distillation. Other
wastewater is run through an multi-filtration system and then through
final purification steps. The water resulting from both recycled urine
and wastewater is combined for reuse and constantly tested to ensure it
meets standards far more stringent than are in place for most municipal
tap water.
