Xintan Mobile Toilet

Mobile toilets are facilities that can be moved as a whole and provide public toilet services. Although specific information on the 'Xintan Mobile Toilet' has not been found, its general characteristics can be introduced.

Structural Composition

Mobile toilets generally consist of a fecal sewage storage tank (or fecal sewage treatment device), flooring, sanitary ware, walls, washing facilities, water tanks, roofs, and mobile devices. These components work together to ensure the basic functions of the toilet are realized, such as storing and treating fecal sewage and providing clean sanitary ware for users.

Advantages and Characteristics

• Mobility: They can adapt to changes in the site, reducing resource waste caused by the relocation of fixed facilities. For example, in Dalian City, mobile public toilets can be flexibly deployed during peak tourist seasons to alleviate toilet pressure in crowded areas. In the Jinci Scenic Area of Shanxi during the May Day holiday in 2026, buses were flexibly deployed as mobile men's toilets, and fixed men's toilets were temporarily converted into women's toilets, increasing the daily reception capacity of the restrooms.
• Diverse Treatment Methods: Appropriate treatment technologies can be adopted according to the limitations of the usage environment. The new environmentally friendly mobile toilet in Beijing uses source separation technology to quickly separate the liquid parts of urine and feces for separate treatment. Solid feces are treated using microbial degradation technology, decomposing them into carbon dioxide, water vapor, and a small amount of stable inorganic residues. Liquid treatment employs membrane bioreactors or electrolytic oxidation technology, with the treated water meeting non-contact reuse standards for use in the toilet's internal flushing system, and odor control is excellent.
• Small Footprint: Compared to traditional fixed toilets, they occupy less land resources and consider exterior design on a practical basis. They are commonly found in public places such as tourist attractions and parks.
• Convenient Construction: They are usually prefabricated in factories and can be installed and used on-site. Compared to the processes of site selection, material procurement, and construction for traditional toilets, they differ in terms of human, material, and financial investment, being more efficient and faster.
