If you have attended a large outdoor event, you may have seen a porta potty bank or a sitting of portable toilets, which is an arrangement of many portable toilets. A chemical toilet is a portable toilet that collects human waste in a reusable holding tank and relies on chemicals to reduce the foul odor. It uses a small holding tank that requires regular emptying once full of human excreta, usually pumped into a treatment plant or a sanitary sewer. In this article, we cover some of the essential aspects of chemical toilets, like where they are used, how much they cost, and what their advantages are. What are the Advantages of Chemical Toilets? Despite their extensive usage of environmentally harsh chemicals, chemical toilets have several advantages. Let's cover some of these benefits below. Portability Perhaps portability is the number one great win for chemical toilets. Their portability owes to the fact that they are not connected to any plumbing system. It's also attributable to their lightweight nature, making it easy to lift them around and install them anywhere outdoors. Restroom trailers, also known as luxury restroom trailers or portable restrooms, are advanced chemical toilets with enhanced portability and other luxury features. They are mounted on trailer platforms with wheels and can be pulled by a vehicle, making moving them more manageable. Self-containment Although not all chemical toilets are self-contained, most modern models come with a toilet seat, urinal, toilet tissue compartment, hand wash sink, mirrors, exterior and interior lighting, soap dispenser, and flushing mechanism. Such comprehensively stocked chemical portable toilets offer users an all-in-one service whenever they need to answer the call of nature in outdoor gatherings. Ease of Use and Cleaning A chemical mobile toilet is easy to use, just like the standard indoor toilet unit. The toilet bowl and urinal guide the waste matter, toilet paper, and urine into the waste holding tank, where the human waste collects until the tank is full and ready for emptying and replacement. The cleaning process for the portable toilet facility is easy. The chemical additives act as a deodorizer to minimize the unpleasant odours caused by multiplying bacteria. The toilet additives also act as disinfectants. Since the full holding tanks are emptied into a vacuum truck, cleaning them is easy once they are rid of the human waste. What's more, you don't have to worry about the cleaning because most chemical toilet renting companies offer waste disposal and cleaning services.

A lot of questions have been raised regarding the prefab or pre-fabricated container houses. Some people call it a process of upcycling and some call it a smart move of repurposing the old shipping containers.

The contractors simply have the potential of completing the last touches and then starting with the process software plumbing and the electricity and last but not least the utilities for the gas. Describing it technically we can say that the shipping container homes are prefabricated as much of the manufacturing is done off-site and then they are assembled at once. The prefabricated house may not even look modular as well because what matters the most is the final touch and the end product. What Are the Advantages of the Prefab Shipping Container Homes? Shipping container homes being prefab or not almost have the same advantages. The advantages are States as below such as: The Prefab Container Homes Are Cost-Effective When you compare the container homes to the stick-built homes you can see that the shipping container homes have the potential of saving a lot of money when it comes to the overall cost of the house.

Although there may not be many of us who spend time contemplating the business of portable restrooms or porta-potties, they are a part of modern life and a very good source of income for hard-working entrepreneurs seeking financial success. Starting a portable toilet company is no easy endeavor, and careful preparation on several fronts is necessary in order to be successful. Find The Right Portable Toilet Supplier No matter where you may reside, as a portable toilet entrepreneur you can start by seeking out the best supplier for your line. When comparing portable toilet manufacturers, there are three factors that should be taken into consideration. They are: product, customer service and company intangibles. Product Obviously, the toilets themselves must meet standard criteria. The most common is the Standard Unit, which is commonly seen in construction sites. They are durable and built to specifically provide adequate ventilation and to withstand both harsh weather conditions and the chemicals used for cleaning. Enhanced Access Units are larger because they accommodate wheelchairs. Equipped with handrails and sometimes baby-changing stations, these appeal to families with small children. Restroom trailers stand apart from other types because they are meant to create a "homey" bathroom experience. Equipped with multiple stalls, urinals and showers, if this is the desired specialty, an entrepreneur must dig a bit deeper for a supplier because not all of them deal with restroom trailers. One important benefit associated with selecting a portable toilet manufacturer is the pride felt about using locally made products. A "Made in China" sticker is a warm and fuzzy welcome as well as a symbol of quality and durability. A top portable toilet manufacturer will offer porta-potties with quality parts and features some of which include: corners that are strong and can accommodate frequent handling and strapping for transport; doors that don't sag and close firmly and top-of-the-line components that include everything from the smallest pieces of toilet seat hardware to larger elements, such as unit side panels. Customer Service Whomever you purchase your portable toilets from, be sure to inquire about, and thoroughly research, their customer service performance and policies. While product certainly matters, customer satisfaction often correlates with business results, growth and sustainability. If you want to be in the business for the long haul, you want a company with a dependable track record. Those that prioritize customer service usually win in the end, and never forget; that applies to your portable toilet service business as well. Company Intangibles By definition, company intangibles cannot be physically touched. Assessing their worth is often difficult because their value is long-term and cannot be precisely delineated in the same manner as land, vehicles, equipment, and inventory. They include aspects such as: a good reputation, experience and expertise, brand recognition and intellectual property, including: patents, trademarks, and copyrights. Be sure to get your portable toilet company off on the right foot from the very beginning! Do your homework and consider options carefully, and above all else. Topindus will be your most trusted portable toilets manufacturer in China.

Portable toilets, or commonly known as Porta-Potties, are similar to toilets we use daily at our homes but the only difference is they are transportable. Due to their lightweight and efficiency, they are preferred in outdoor events such as concerts, fairs, camping facilities, construction sites, and wherever traditional restrooms are not accessible or nonefficient. Keep reading to find out 5 new facts about portable toilets. Flushed toilets were made way before portable toilets were invented According to Smithsonian, the flushed toilet was invented in 1596 but wasn't used much until 1851. Where modern porta-potties were invented in the 1940s to increase efficiency in dock loading work. For a 4 hour event, 1 porta-potty is enough for 50 people The number of portable toilets needed in any event is dependant on many factors. Type of the event, number of people, alcohol and food consumption, the length of the event, women to men ratio are some of these factors. If you are renting porta-potties for a construction site, there should be one portable toilet for 10 construction workers. But for special events, one for women and one for men is sufficient. Also, handicapped toilet options should be available at all events. For a 4 hour event, a general rule is to have one portable toilet for 50 people. And if there is alcohol consumption in the event, the number of portable toilets should increase 10-20%. A portable toilet is cleaned once a week – and of course, it depends on the usage The maintenance interval mostly depends on the usage rate. But commonly, a portable toilet is cleaned once a week. Cleaning properly and on time is important for our health and safety. If the toilets smell, that means the toilet is not maintained properly and the spread of the diseases becomes easier. Therefore, for better waste management, working with a certified and regulated company is the best way to maintain safe toilets. There are also regulations in some countries due to chemicals used in portable toilets for sanitation purposes. Thus, these hazardous wastes in the toilet tank should be disposed of carefully and according to the local regulations. Portable toilets are safe during Covid-19 If they are cleaned properly, their structure allows less spread of Covid-19 which makes them safer than the common toilets we use. Besides the fact that many portable toilets are cleaned by regulated companies in strict time intervals, the chemicals used in the portable toilets kill all the bacteria and viruses including Covid-19 which makes portable toilets safer for people during this time. Portable toilets cannot be flushed and that makes them healthier than regular toilets. Not flushing prevents spreading the diseases to the air.

Shipping containers house are steel boxes designed to withstand the harshest of conditions on the seven seas. While this means they're certainly built to last, it isn't exactly clear how long this is supposed to be. Haulage companies tend to depreciate their containers over 10-12 years, but this is by no means their maximum lifespan. When maintained properly and used either for storage or as a modified building, shipping containers can last in excess of 35 years. Whether you're planning to use a container for construction site storage, extra space in a school, or simply to stash away your excess possessions, here are five simple steps to prolong the life of your shipping container house. MADE TO LAST… Rustproofing – Shipping containers are made out of Corten steel (also known as "weathering steel") which is specifically designed to withstand prolonged exposure to saltwater. Having said this, this type of steel is not invincible. If the surface of your container is damaged, then it’s possible for rust to develop, which can potentially lead to long-term structural problems. To avoid this, be sure to conduct regular checks for rust on the external walls and corners. If you notice any rust, sandblast it down to the unaffected metal, then seal and apply a rust-resistance paint. Clear the roof – Shipping containers are designed to be stacked on top of each other. Almost all of the weight is born through the corner posts of a container, making the roof relatively weak in comparison. Unless your container has been specifically modified to hold weight on its roof, we'd advised keeping it clear to avoid any long-term damage. Mount your container on a foundation – If you keep your container on a field, it's a good idea to place it on top of a concrete foundation. Not only will this help to keep it secure, but it will also decrease the chance of moisture seeping into its base and causing rust. Keep dry and well-ventilated – As we've mentioned before, "container rain" can cause damage to both the structure and contents of a container. To make sure this doesn't happen, keep your container well-ventilated and dry, using desiccants where possible. Lubricate moving parts – It might sound basic, but keeping the moving parts of your container well-lubricated will help keep rust at bay. Concentrate on the container doors, as well as any other hinges.

Set Your Budget Before the container house plan starts, the first thing you need to do is to set a reasonable budget. Because the modular container house is mainly made of steel structures, sandwich panels, and a simple electric system. So compared with traditional buildings, container houses are more economical. But it still depends on the location, size, design, and function of your house. The size of each standard container unit is 5.95*3*2.8m, and it can be used alone or combined horizontally and vertically for a larger space. You need to measure the length and width of the land area first. Normally, the house area should not exceed 70% of the house area. For example, if your land area is 200 square meters, then the building area is best about 140 square meters. Each of our standard container house areas is 18 square meters, and the price of each one is around 2500-3000 USD. So you can roughly calculate the budget of the house. In addition, we recommend that you prepare an additional 20% of your budget as an emergency fund. This is a budget reserved for unexpected delays and costs in the construction process. Or furniture and decoration etc. Most importantly, this budget is only the price of the house and does not include sea freight. II. Know Your Local Building Codes The container house is a very safe temporary building. All the designs are in compliance with the construction requirements. Generally, you can build the container house freely in your location. Of course, the requirements of different regions are different. It is recommended that you contact the local construction department to find out detailed information about the building codes in your area. Our container houses have been exported to South Africa, Asia, South America, and many other regions. According to our experience, almost all of them meet the local building codes. III.

The local rainfall, whether it rains often if so, we will provide you with a professional roof design. Whether it is in a city center or a noisy place, better sound insulation is required. Does it often snow in winter in the local area? What is the maximum wind speed in the area, and does it need to be wind resistant? Whether it is near to the sea, the house needs anti-rust and anti-corrosion treatment. V. Design Drawings & Floor Plans After planning the container house floor plans, you can start drawing sketches. We will provide you with the best home layout drawings. Once you are satisfied with the layout you have made, we can use 3D modeling tools to understand the appearance and internal layout of your home. VI.

If you are a person with a love-hate relationship with portable toilets, their history will show you the benefits of them. We also provide a tip for you on how to choose the cleanest toilet within a row of toilets. Here are the fascinating facts about portable toilets that we have chosen just for you: 1. The Portable Toilet Industry Began For Shipyard Employees In The 1940s The portable toilet story begins during World War II, when the owners of the shipyards in Long Beach, New Jersey, realized that the employees were losing a lot of valuable work time in the long trek from the ships back to the docks to answer nature's call. According to the Minneapolis Porta Potty Pros, they decided to construct small, portable cubicles that were made with wood or metal and contained a small holding tank. As a result, workers were happier and more productive, and this invention marked the start of the portable toilet industry. 2. Portable Toilets Have Many Different Names The following are a few examples: Portable restroom (our preferred term) Porta potty Porta-john Honey bucket WC (water closet; used in Europe) Porta-loo Johnny-on-the-spot Jon 3. How The Industry Has Evolved To Meet The Customer's Needs And Wants The portable toilet industry started as a solution to a problem on ships and has now grown and evolved into something much broader. Portable toilets started out as structures made of wood and metal. This made them incredibly heavy and extremely difficult to empty once the ships docked. Eventually, they began to use lighter building materials, which made them a lot easier to clean. One of the ways that we are evolving to match the needs of our customers is our units. These are on specifically-designed trailers for One of the ways that we are evolving to match the needs of our customers is our trailer toilet units. These are on specifically-designed trailers for transporting toilets from one location to another. The toilets are bolted onto a trailer. The customers pick them up in our yard and bring them back after they are finished with it. They can be ordered with one or two classic or elite toilets on the trailer. These towable units are especially nice for construction companies that are repaving a road, building a gas line, or simply need a toilet on wheels to transport between locations. Another giant hurdle for the portable toilet industry to overcome has been the smell. The invention of deodorizers set up the portable toilet industry for a huge leap in being accepted in the public eye. The first deodorizers were made of formaldehyde-based chemicals that helped mask the odor. The industry has progressed to using a non-formaldehyde-based deodorizer since the older models were harder to break down in a wastewater plant. The new deodorizers also contain biocides that keep the odor-causing bacteria from multiplying, which keeps the smell down. Therefore, the toilet is also cleaner and more sanitary, since the odor-causing bacteria is eliminated.
