Chemical Toilet Design

Chemical toilets are an alternative to flush toilets. Commonly referred to as waterless toilets, low water closets and are ideal for locations where there is no septic tank, the ground not being suitable for one to be situated, or in conditions where the water supply is limited or non existent, or indeed where the is no access available to a sewer and waste disposal system. There are several systems available on the market. They are most sophisticated of the portable toilets that are available and are also used in congested cities like New York and California.

When chemical toilets are reviewed, the term now has been excessively generalized; however there are several different types of chemical toilets available. They all differ in size and method of flush (i.e. the waste disposal method) but invariably, the one thing a chemical toilet of any design has in common is that the system is generally waterless.

The toilet bowl tends to be a slightly different design shape than flush toilets, chemical toilets use a reservoir which holds the chemical mix, and it is usually located directly below the toilet seat. The chemicals reduce and mask the odors (although not completely) and go some way to disinfecting the waste as well as breaking it down. The storage capacity of chemical toilets is limited, and need to be pumped out regularly and cleaned by a specialist company. This service type of contract can usually be agreed upon at the point of sale.

More sophisticated designs are those types of chemical toilets that have an electrically powered recirculating pump, and these differ from simple chemical toilets, in as much they separate the waste from the chemical mix, and then re circulate the fluid through the holding tank or the water tank that the toilet system needs to store fresh water and process waste.

Research has constantly borne out the fact that effluent from open latrines is, and has been, responsible for the contamination of ground water supplies throughout the world. Maintenance and operating costs vary between sanitation and waste systems such as bucket latrines and septic tanks etc, and chemical toilets, regardless of the type and number of people needed to be catered for, are an environmentally friendly and economic alternative.

There are many countries that have a constant water shortage, and to waste those scant reserves on sewerage disposal is not an option without huge investment in a sanitation and sewerage disposal and water recovery infrastructure. Indeed, in many rural areas of developed nations of the world, including the USA, the cost of installing and maintaining a system such as this is prohibitive.

The alternative to flush toilets is now very cost effective, environmentally friendly. The horror stories one may have heard about chemical toilets is largely banished to the past, the modern versions being clean and easy to use, and very cost effective to maintain, and repaired regularly will give many years of trouble free use.
