How do chemical toilets work?

A chemical toilet is a portable toilet that people can use when away from traditional facilities. They are usually found at construction sites, at fairs, at concerts, and at any other large outdoor gathering.

Chemical toilets are also used in caravans, isolated cabins, on boats or in any other means of transport.

So how do chemical toilets work and how can you benefit from them?

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION OF CHEMICAL TOILETS

Portable toilets are made up of 4 basic components:

Toilet seat Waste water tank Flush mechanism (optional) Sink and soap (optional)

The chemical toilet flushes out and transports waste like a conventional toilet, but the waste is not flushed down a drain. They are carried in a holding tank below. This is located inside the portable toilet unit under the seat.

Chemical toilets use chemicals to prevent the dispersal of foul odors. Today's deodorant products rely on botanical extracts and enzymes that react on two axes:

They preserve the waste, which prevents it from breaking down and creating additional odors. They give off a strong and pleasant aroma to mask bad odors.

DRAINING CHEMICAL TOILETS

Portable toilets are emptied using a vacuum truck. This tank contains all the solid and liquid waste that should be emptied in the places provided for this purpose.

For health safety reasons and to avoid contamination of groundwater, toilet waste should be emptied at an appropriate facility such as a sewage dump station.

Chemical toilets should be regularly maintained and cleaned by replenishing chemicals and water to maintain hygiene standards.
