Falcon Waterfree Products In Beijing

The company’s waterfree urinals have been installed at several Olympic venues. The water saving fixtures are being used by the general public, staff, and athletes at the National Stadium (also known as the Bird’s Nest), National Swimming Center (the Water Cube), Olympic Torch Relay Route, Olympic Triathlon Track, Olympic Security Control Center, Olympic Water Sports Fields and Stadiums, and the BMX Contest Field.

The urinals, manufactured and sold by Los Angeles, CA-based Falcon Waterfree, use a patented cartridge technology to provide waterfree, odor-free, and trouble-free operation. Because the urinals are not attached to a water supply, they do not become a source of plumbing emergencies. Restrooms are also kept cleaner, because they have five times fewer bacteria than water flushed urinals and no flush plumes, which can spread bacteria laden moisture around restrooms.

Water conservation at the Beijing Olympics has been a key requirement not only to showcase modern and sustainable technology, but to also help the city of 18 million people accommodate the additional needs of Olympic visitors and athletes. Based on average water savings of 40,000 gallons (151,000 liters) per urinal, per year, the 165 waterfree urinals will save 6.6 million gallons (25 million liters) per year.
