Field Lab Green Features
There were fewer installation requirements with the waterless urinal. It conserves water, reduces sewage, reduces maintenance costs, and improves restroom sanitation (no touch).
Waterless urinals allow gravity to drain urine into a vertically-designed trap/cylinder, which is filled with a thin layer of liquid sealant that sits in the drain area of the urinal. As urine passes through the trap/cylinder and sealant, which also blocks and prevents odors from being released into the air, it eventually overflows into a conventional drainpipe, similar to a traditional urinal.
