Yup. liters makes it sound like a big number, but using the author's example:

>> The world’s busiest airport by passenger volume, Guangzhou, could have handled 5.14 million litres of pee in April 2021.

That converts to about 43k 55-gallon barrels per year, or about 118 barrels per day. An insustry standard oil tanker truck is about 210 barrels, range 50-300 [0]. So, all in all, pretty manageable.
