Zhangye Microbial Mobile Toilet

Admin October 17, 2026

The Zhangye Microbial Mobile Toilet is an ecological sanitation product developed by Zhangye Lanbiao Biotechnology Co., Ltd., based on microbial degradation technology. It features waterless flushing, resource recycling, and wide applicability.

I. Core Technology Principles
This toilet employs a self-developed microbial synergistic degradation technology, achieving a 99% volume reduction of fecal waste through a fifth-generation intelligent bioreactor. Its core lies in utilizing specific microbial communities to decompose organic matter, combined with a zero-water biological engine system that completes the treatment process without the need for water supply or sewage pipelines. The technological breakthroughs are reflected in two aspects: first, the cost of the bioreactor is reduced by 40% compared to traditional solutions; second, through patented technologies (holding 3-6 invention patents and 21-48 utility model patents), it achieves efficient odor removal and epidemic prevention, avoiding the risk of aerosol transmission caused by water flushing.

II. Product Functional Advantages

  1. Ecological Closed-Loop Design: Fecal waste is treated and converted into microbial fertilizer, which can be directly returned to the fields for use, forming a complete chain of "use-treatment-resource utilization".
  2. Environmental Adaptability: Equipped with a fresh air system and biological odor removal modules, it ensures odorless and异味-free (odor-free) operation; the mining version has passed the Coal Mine Safety (MA) certification, becoming the first underground toilet in China and filling an industry gap.
  3. Deployment Flexibility: Its plug-and-play feature makes it suitable for temporary scenarios (such as outdoor campsites and large-scale events) as well as areas with weak infrastructure (such as rural areas and remote scenic spots). During the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, over 300 units operated without failure in the three competition zones, verifying their stability.

III. Market Application and Recognition
The product has formed a product system covering urban and rural public toilet renovations and special scenario applications, with a cumulative installation of over 75,000 units, covering 30 provinces in China and overseas markets such as Mongolia and Canada. From January to May 2024, its output value reached 156 million yuan. It has successively won the third prize in the national "China Chuangyi" competition, the third prize in the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs' toilet renovation technology awards, and has been included in the Gansu Province Green Product List. The research and development of products in细分领域 (niche areas) such as RV toilets and toilets for disabled beds have further expanded its application boundaries.

IV. Social Value
This technology effectively alleviates the water resource consumption and pollution problems of traditional toilets through water conservation (each unit saves over 100 tons of water annually) and resource utilization. In the rural toilet revolution, its low-cost and easy-to-maintain characteristics provide a feasible solution for upgrading rural sanitation facilities; in cultural tourism and outdoor scenarios, it enhances user experience through eco-friendly design.
