Waterless urinals technology- An innovative solution to save potable water
Posted on 16 Jan, 2010 10:05 PM
Potable water has been a scarce resource and environmentalists are working day and night to save as much water they can. Many organizations are regularly putting their efforts to make products to save potable water.
Waterless Urinal is one such product available globally and has been mandatory to use in a number of countries. However, the technologies available so far were based on cartridge or oil seal that has high operating costs and regular maintenance; thus the product has not been able to get much support.
Now a new technology has been invented that has no cartridges, chemical requirements and has zero operating costs with no maintenance. These urinals were used in Beijing Olympics and have been approved by the Beijing Olympics Authority for their successful operation. The product has advanced nano-coating to make it anti stain and anti bacterial; providing better hygiene to users and innovative flap technology to control the odor. In India the product was introduced by a New Delhi based organization, a year back and has been tried and tested by different organizations so far.
Municipal Corporation of Delhi has already started installing these urinals for upcoming Common-Wealth Games to provide better civic amenities to visitors and general public.
