Hydration Technology of Albany, Oregon, which makes the membrane, says soldiers should only use urine in an absolute emergency because the membrane is too coarse to filter out urea.

Ok, what kind of emergency would require pi$$ing on it, rather than eating it dry & crunchy?

Water shortage. Since the urine is filtered, the process effectively recycles the water content of the urine. It would help to prevent dehydration.
