Water Reclaim Systems-RPS Series Reclaim Systems — The RPS Series reclaim system pumps water through automated filters and an ozone injector system to clean and disinfect the water.

Why Do I Need a RPS System?

The RPS Series Reclaim System is for in-bay automatic car washes. Recycling wash water reduces your fresh water usage as well as eliminates EPA and local impact fees, reduces sanitary sewer costs, and water restrictions. Our RPS systems are designed for petroleum industry car washes.

How Does the RPS System Work?

The RPS Series reclaim system pumps water through automated filters and an ozone injector system to clean and disinfect the water. The cleaned water is stored and constantly re-circulated to remain odor-free for delivery to the car wash upon demand. Filters automatically purge solids to eliminate the need for manual cleaning. The system requires minimal periodic maintenance. It is ideal for retrofitting existing car washes as a turnkey package with compact water storage tanks installed along the wash bay wall or in an adjacent room.

STANDARD FEATURES:

Totally Automatic Operation
Multi-Stage / Multi-Pass Filtration
Large volume Ozone Odor Control
Automated Fresh Water By-Pass
Narrow System Footprint
High-Efficiency Pumps
Low Maintenance Costs

[Diagram Details Below]

Stainless Steel Inlet Compartment – The water is pumped into the system through a non-clogging diffuser pipe to distribute the flow. The inlet chamber is designed to reduce suspended solids, dissipate energy and begin separation.
Sump Pump – Water is pumped into the system via an air diaphragm sump pump.
Inclined Plates – Inclined plates above the sludge chamber catch suspended particles as the water stream moves into the separation chamber.
Separation Chamber – After the water travels up the inclined plates, it flows into the stainless steel separation chamber containing the coalescing media.
Coalescing Media Packs – The high efficient coalescing pack in the separation chamber further slow the water velocity so oil drops out of suspension and clings to the media. This media will remove 99% of free oil droplets 20 microns or larger.
Oil Skimmer – The oil that has dropped out of suspension is then skimmed off the top of the separation chamber and into a tank for easy removal.
Baffles – An underflow weir will prevent re-suspension of solids while an oil retention weir will keep the oil in the separation compartment.
Ozone Generator – The water is injected with ozone to kill odor-causing bacteria.
Clean Water Chamber – The third stage is a clean water chamber where the clean water will flow out for reuse to the drain.
Float Control System – SPT Series Systems come with optional control systems for simple, automatic operation.

Depth Filtration Systems — Photo of an "oil recycling" depth filtration system.

Our Oil Recycling, Depth Filtration System is a high performance batch system, designed with the versatility to recycle virtually any type of Industrial oil and engineered for many years of dependable trouble free service.

Depth Filtration Features:

Restore Contaminated Oil
Maximize Savings
Minimize Disposal

Oil Contaminants can have serious problems associated with water and/or particulate contamination. Water contamination in oil produces an emulsion, which accelerates corrosion and causes metal deterioration. Particulate contamination can accelerate wear on vital parts, i.e. pumps, bearing, gears, valves, seals, etc. The presence of water and/or particulate contamination in oil will increase downtimes, labor costs and disposal costs.

Benefits of using a COMO Depth Filtration System

Gross Water and Particulate Removal by Heating and Settling
Wide Filter Element Selection to Achieve Desired Oil Cleanliness and Dryness to 40 PPM
Conserve Energy and Filter Element Usage by Batch Processing
Extend Oil Life and Performance
Reduce Oil Replacement Cost
Minimize Oil Disposal Cost

Options:

Air Strip Technology for Accelerated Oil Drying
Manual, Semi-Automatic & Fully Automatic Process Control
Size and Designs Available to Meet a Wide Range of Applications
50-3000 Gallon System Capacity

Why do I need the CRS Series Rinse Water System?

Most recycling systems can provide filtered wash-quality water. The CRS-Series systems are designed to further treat that water to remove soaps and some dissolved solids to provide water for rinsing the vehicles. This will reduce the amount of fresh water needed for the vehicle washing operation.

Top Features:

Rinse-Quality Water Filtration
Automatic Filter Operation
Retrofit To Existing Or New Recycling Systems

How does the CRS Series Rinse Water System Work?

The CRS-Series rinse water systems are designed to provide rinse-quality water on demand from an automated or manual vehicle wash operation. When needed, the CRS filter pump draws water from the recycled wash water storage tank and pushes it through a deep-bed polishing filter to the rinse process. A pressure switch and tank system assure constant output pressure. The filter automatically backwashes and requires minimum maintenance.

Optional Features:

Odor Control Ozonation System
Remote Monitoring
Filtration Pre-Treatment
System Enclosure

These stainless steel drum evaporators completely encapsulate a 55-gallon drum of wastewater and heat it from the outside, eliminating contact of the heating elements with the wastewater. This makes the drum evaporator extremely effective for de-watering waste streams with high solids content including water based inks, paints, and adhesives. A great advantage of a drum evaporator is that the dry waste residue does not have to be scraped or removed from the 55-gallon drum; it can simply hauled for disposal.

STANDARD FEATURES:

Stainless steel construction
Electrically Operated Incolloy Heating Elements – external to drum with low watt density
Control panel with digital display
Mist Eliminator System to capture entrained water droplets.
Insulation on sides and lid
Drum dolly to provide easy moving of drums

SYSTEM BENEFITS:

Reduces the costs & liabilities of wastewater disposal
Easy to install and operate
Eliminates need to discharge wastewater
Handles different waste streams simultaneously

New Wash Bay updates for truck wash — Wash Bay updates for automated truck wash tunnel.

PROBLEM: A new municipal waste management truck wash facilities needed several large water recycling systems to handle the high volumes of water needed for their automated truck wash tunnels. The new facilities required up to 600-gpm of recycled water.

In addition, the systems needed to collect and isolate heavy solids loads, provide strong disinfection for odor and bacteria/BOD control, and filter the water adequately for reuse.

SOLUTION: Washbaysolutions provided 600-gpm engineered systems for each location to collect, treat, disinfect, and store clean recycled water for reuse. Large conical-bottom tanks assisted with the extensive solids removal required, along with screen and basket systems and in-line filters. A large ozone disinfection system was utilized to control the odors and organic contamination.

Automated solids transfer pumps, programmable controllers, and an automated fresh water makeup system enabled the equipment to treat and maintain sufficient clean recycled water for continuous truck wash operation.

DATE INSTALLED: April 2009

RESULTS:The initial two locations have operated successfully since 2003 without any major problems. As the facility maintenance personnel became familiar with the operation of the system and its capabilities to handle the large solids loads, the quality of the recycled water soared above their initial expectations.

Marina Water Recycling — Water Recycling Units for new Florida Marina.

PROBLEM: A large new Florida marina needed to provide clean recycled water to 18 boat wash hose locations for hull cleaning. Since no city sewer was available, all water had to be captured and recycled.

The marina wanted the system to operate 24/7 with minimal maintenance and constant exposure to the heat, sun, humidity, and salt air.

SOLUTION: Washbaysolutions designed a 200-GPM closed-loop reclaim system to capture, treat, store, and deliver clean recycled water to the hose bibs.

The system incorporated a large ozone disinfection system, fully automated filter valves for filter backwashing, PLC control of all filter functions, and all non-ferrous components and hardware.

The system also incorporated a rain detection system to manage excess rainwater in the collection system, and a fresh water makeup system to compensate for evaporation losses.

DATE INSTALLED: April 2009

RESULTS:The customer is very happy since the system has operated continuously since start-up with no downtime. It continues to deliver extremely clean recycled water. Average maintenance time is minimal.
