- Various causes of the insufficient and inefficient facilities presently
available motivated our team of scientists and engineers to design
inexpensive public toilets and urinals based on scientific and
technological principals.

CABIN FOR SINGLE USER

|
- In the toilet developed by us we have taken into account that an
individual takes a mug/bottle of water to the fields to clean up. In
this toilet cabin he will be
doing the same, and does not suffer a cultural
shock of having to use a toilet paper.
|
|

|
- Coloured Galvanised Steel Body and door
- Cabin Dimensions 1000 x1000mmx1800mm, tank 900x900x500mm
- Floor space required 1000x1900mm.
- Mild steel painted three Wide steps are provided for easy access to the
toilet cabin.
|
|

|
- There is a sign of vacant or occupied on the door operated by the inside
latch.
- Glass/Acrylic panes are fixed to the side walls to provide light in the
cabin during day time. For early morning and late night use a low watt
CFL light is provided.
- Shelf inside to place hand bag off the floor; hooks to hang dupatta,
burqa, coat etc.

- An aerator is provided outside the toilet cabin for providing fresh air under pressure
including oxygen through the toilet cabin and into the collection
chamber. The air under pressure enters the collection chamber and
decomposes shit into water and solids. The air pressure direction
prevents the odour from the excreta from coming into the cabin and
getting into the user’s nostrils.
|
|
15
|
- The air evaporates some of the water in the collection chamber and
carries it through the pipe to the ventilator which has no moving parts
and is placed on the top of the toilet cabin.
- The air pressure prevents the bad smell from entering into the toilet
cabin from the collection chamber.
|
|
16
|
- Since the evaporation is less than the amount of water used for washing
and urine the collection chamber tends to fill up after the use by about
150 to 200 persons and needs to be emptied. The manual cleaning process
takes about half an hour. However this can be speeded up by using a
pump.
|
|
17
|
- Since there are few moving parts (aerator and scraper lever) there is
practically no maintenance required. The operator has to clean the
floor of the cabin
periodically as the users will invariably bring outside dirt in the
cabin with their shoes. The toilet bowl and the anti splash plate also needs to be brushed
for sticky shit from time to time.
|
|
18
|
- To make the cabin free from viruses like FLU,SARS, H51N , Bacteria and
Fungi, the Nano particles can be coated on the walls to release ions
over long period of time which effectively deactivate pathogenic
bacteria, Fungi and Viruses but are harmless for human beings.
|
|
19
|
- Rubberised mild steel excreta/waste/urine collection tank; large
pipe with easy to open lid
for removal of collected excreta after about a week
- Aerator fan, Concealed CFL Light
- Plastic odour removal pipe
- Daylight Acrylic windows
|
|
20
|
- Urine and faeces (shit) collection tank in Mild Steel fitted with bio-digester
arrangement.
- No sewage connection; No Digging for septic tank
|
|
21
|
- Faeces and urine are decomposed under anaerobic conditions by specially
developed bacteria by DRDE.
- The bacteria eats away the solid part and gives out water and traces of methane.
- In the absence of air, other disease causing bacteria such as amoeba,
giardia, salmonella, E coli
etc die and as such the water being let out does not harm the ground water or any
water stream.
|
|
22
|
- In this cabin he uses a squatting type of toilet
bowl made of stainless steel
which is hygienic ,easy to clean
and long lasting. Squatting is a familiar posture to the user.
- Door Latch on inside; For the convenience of the user a shelf is
provided for placing a ladies handbag or a briefcase above the floor
level, hooks are provided to hang dupatta and accessories etc.
|
|
23
|
- Pipe and faucet WITH Stainless Steel mug with stainless steel chain for
wash water
|
|
24
|
- The faeces (shit) Shit consist of 93% to 95% water and only 5% to 7%
solids, this gets eaten up by the bio digester.
- Urine which is high in Nitrogen and low in phosphorous. The water taken
out will be useful for providing high nutrient irrigation for plants and garden around the
toilet tank.
|
|
25
|
- No water connection required
- No polluting chemicals used
- No need to dig a septic tank (No soil and water source contamination)
- No Electrical Connection
- Small foot print (only 1mx0.8m space required).
|
|
26
|
- Such anaerobic or aerobic units can be placed all over the city roads
and other places without requiring adjoining space. If good facilities
are available in large numbers it will become unacceptable to have
people use walls and bushes to relieve themselves.
- Open defecation can soon become a thing of the past
|
|
27
|
- Easily Portable The unit can be mounted on a frame with wheels for
moving from place to place This will be particularly useful when
required in larger numbers in a particular area for a few days like
during festivals, events etc.
|

|
- The attractive kiosk type urinal attracts attention from a distance
announcing availability of a facility with privacy panels in the vicinity. Thus it becomes
unacceptable that men use the walls or tree trunks or bushes to urinate.
|
|
31
|
- Four or two persons can use it in different positions around the kiosk
and thus it is ideal for places of high pedestrian traffic. This is a
non flush type facility and each unit saves nearly a lakh of litres of
water every year.
|
|
32
|
- The urine flows down the urine bowl through an odor sealing siphon
arrangement with an environment friendly oily liquid. As this sealant
flows out in minute quantities along with urine, it needs to be added in
small quantity (about 100ml) to the urine bowl every week to ten days.
|
|
33
|
- If the kiosk is placed over a manhole on the sewer line there is
practically no maintenance other than topping up the odor sealant. There
is no limit to the number of persons that can use it continuously.
- The first prototype kept
opposite our factory is being used by over 75 persons daily since two
and a half years with odour sealant oil topped up every month or so.
|
|
34
|
- The space required for the kiosk is about 1.65m x 1.65m on the ground
with a canopy of 2.1m diameter.
- In case the location does not have a sewage line then the urine can be
collected in a 200 litre tank which is sufficient for about 600 to 700
persons after which the collection chamber will fill up and needs to be
emptied.
- Alternatively the urine can be drained into a sand pit about
1.2mx1.2mx1.2m
|
|
35
|
- To make the urine bowl free from viruses like FLU,SARS, H51N , Bacteria
and Fungi, the Nano particles can becoated on the urine bowl walls
release ions over long period of time which effectively deactivate
pathogenic bacteria, Fungi and Viruses but are harmless for human
beings.
|
|
36
|
- Urine is high in Nitrogen and low in phosphorous. The urine taken out will be
useful for providing high nutrient irrigation for plants and garden around the
toilet tank. Urine is also used for making phosphorus for matches and is
useful in tanning of leather. Small industries can be built around the
use of urine.
|
|
37
|
- The privacy panels have a wide divider which can be used for placing
advertisements and/or fitting a vending machine for condoms, birth
control pills and other personal care items of low value as required by
men from the poorer strata of society.
|
|
38
|
- The revenue
generated can be used for employing one or more persons to keep the
immediate vicinity and the urine bowls clean., It is likely that during
the course of the day some men will spit Paan juice, Phlegm, Paan masala
pouches and other debri in and around the urine bowl. Some urine
driblets will inevitably also fall on the floor below the urine bowl.
All this needs cleaning up.

- The PPP model of inviting
private sector to install these facilities against advertising revenue
needs to be re considered. Advertising revenue, even from non facility
location may not be sufficient to cover the initial cost and O & M
costs.
- An additional incentive
could be to permit retail activity e.g. newspapers, mobile recharge
coupons, personal hygiene and small value adornment items etc, on a
small footprint- say 1.5 sq
m- near the facility. The retailer would keep the facility safe,
operational and clean to attract maximum custom. This would attract more
bidders on BOT model.
- A suggestion is to make the large number of MCD
Safai Karamcharis
stakeholders by offering them one or more urinals for O & M
as a business unit (Retail cum advertising) within a co operative in
lieu of a VRS compensation.
