Pingyao Public Mobile Toilet

Pingyao public mobile toilets, centered around eco-friendly technologies, feature water and energy conservation as well as flexible deployment. They are primarily used in the ancient city's scenic areas and surrounding regions, with plans for additional installations.

Technical Features and Core Advantages

The mobile toilets used in Pingyao Ancient City are centered around microbial degradation technology and vacuum suction systems. Microbial degradation uses special bacteria to break down waste into carbon dioxide, water, and inorganic salts, achieving a water-saving rate of over 90%. For example, a traditional water-flush toilet uses an average of 3 tons of water per day, while a microbial degradation toilet uses less than 0.3 tons. The vacuum suction system rapidly removes waste through negative-pressure pipes, combined with activated carbon filtration to eliminate odors, making it particularly suitable for arid regions. Additionally, these mobile toilets are easy to install, with commissioning completed within 4 hours, and do not require damage to ground vegetation, making them adaptable to tourist attractions, construction sites, and emergency disaster relief scenarios.

Layout Planning and Additional Installation Plans

The existing public toilets in Pingyao Ancient City are located on Dongdajie Street, Pingyao County, Jinzhong City, near areas such as Mijia Lane and Dongdajie Street, with dense bus stops nearby (e.g., Pingyao Ancient City Station, Bus Station), facilitating easy access for tourists. According to the 2018 Plan for Adding Public Toilets in the Urban Area of Pingyao County, more than 30 fully mobile toilets are planned to be added in the built-up area (including the ancient city). These toilets are required to harmonize with the architectural style of the ancient city, adopting water-saving flush structures and incorporating three-chamber septic tanks for harmless waste treatment, with direct discharge prohibited.
