pH Controlled Systems

Our PH control system is designed to detect and treat water with pH levels outside a given range. A pH probe placed in the water continuously reads the pH of the water. When the pH is out of the desired range, the control panel will automatically signal the chemical dosing pump(s) to apply the correct amount of chemical additive to get the water back into the pre-set acceptable range.

Standard Features:

Magnetic drive pump for circulation, mixing and discharging
pH Probe
Metering pump(s)
NEMA-4X control panel
Water management tank(s)
Automated valve system for water transfer and discharge
Weatherproofed to protect from water and environmental damage

Optional Features Available:

RDS-20 Rainwater Management System (Rain Diverter)

Rain Diverter System Panel Control

Many wash facilities do not have a roof over the wash pads so when it rains, storm water can flow through the pre-treatment system into the city sewers and overwhelm the system. To make sure that doesn’t happen, we have designed a simple, programmable rain diverter system (RDS-20).

The concept is fairly straightforward. When the system senses at least ¼” of rainfall, a controller turns on the pumps for a pre-set time to remove the floating oils and water from the wash pad through our pre-treatment system. This time is factory set for 15 minutes, but can be readily changed to suit field conditions.

After the first flush of rainwater with the contaminants are removed, the RDS then shuts down the system to prevent excess storm water from entering the tank and the sewer system. After the rain event, the RDS will reset to allow normal operation of the treatment system. If needed, the system can be manually overridden to allow washing operations during rain events.

Features

Adjustable rain sensor
Actuator and Jandy Valve
Programmable controller with manual/automatic switch capability

Benefits

Captures and directs first flush waters and contaminants
Ideal for uncovered wash bays
Can be designed to work with new or existing recycling systems
Compact design can be mounted anywhere
Can be configured to work with electric or air operated pumps
Completely field programmable for rain sensitivity, pumping duration, and reset time.

Monitoring System to find oil in water

Do you need an economical way to continuously monitor how much oil is in your water to ensure acceptable discharge levels?

Our Oil Content Analyzer with electro-optical sensing can detect even trace amounts of oil in water flowing through a pipe – and send an alarm if the amount exceeds a certain level.

Applications include:

Aircraft and truck washdown facilities
Storm water runoff
Ground water reclamation
Oil Water Separator Effluent monitoring
Power plant effluent
Industrial process water discharge
Fuel transfer station rain water runoff
Bilge water discharge monitoring

The design is very straight forward. The monitor is attached directly to the pipe carrying the oil water mixture. Every 8 seconds, a small sample is taken through the pipe wall. A light source shines through the sample and the system measures how much light has been absorbed and translates that into oil concentration. After the measurement, the sample is put back into the water stream.

This oil content value can be adjusted to any level between 2 and 500 ppm (or higher, if needed). When the measured oil concentration is higher than the pre-set value, visual and audio alarms will activate. The alarm relay output can also be used to control valves, pumps and/or an external alarm circuit. Many other options can be added including 4-20ma outputs.

Features

Self-Cleaning: Optical surface is cleaned each time it samples and expels water. Reduces maintenance and eliminates errors from fouled surfaces.
Completely Automatic Operation: Requires no attention from operators
Easily Installed: Just install through piping, no troublesome tubing
Reliable Sampling: Provides real-time results every 8 seconds without distortion
Rugged Design: Marine grade 316 stainless steel, bronze and aluminum.

Our Wash Bay Solutions Stainless Debris Baskets are designed to both protect the equipment and help control costs associated with solids removal from wash bay sumps. The baskets are for washing applications with an average amount of solids. The baskets fit snugly into the sump and catch all solids from the wash bay before they reach the recycle systems. When the basket is full, personnel remove it and set it to the side to dewater. A second basket can then be placed into the sump and washing can continue. Once the sediment in the first debris basket is de-watered, it can be easily disposed of according to local enforcement agency regulations.

Applications:

Heavy Equipment Washing
Aircraft Maintenance
Truck & Bus Washing
Forklift Wash Facilities
Military Bases

Benefits:

Low Maintenance
Heavy Duty Construction
Impervious to Non-petroleum Materials
Easy to Install

The baskets are constructed of stainless steel plates and stainless mesh. They come in standard sizes or custom sizes to fit into an existing sump. One or two handles on each basket make them easy to move around.
