Contaminated wastewater from the pressure washing of transportation equipment has the potential to contaminate groundwater if precautions aren't met. It only takes one quart of oil to contaminate 250,000 gallons of water, so ECO Cleaning Systems has developed a machine to recover and filter its wastewater and reuse more than 80% of the water.
The HydroRecyClean can filter out oil, fuel, grease, organisms, and chemicals and convert them into substances that be thrown away in general landfills. Since a 50-gallon oil spill cleaned up with absorbents can cost upwards of $2,000 in disposal fees, the HydroRecyClean system can save users substantial money.
The US Clean Water Act requires the pressure washing industry to recover every ounce of wastewater created, protecting storm drains and natural waterways from pollution. But technology requires multiple pieces of equipment and various manual steps. That's why ECO Cleaning Systems founder Brent Kaiser developed the HydroRecyClean, to make Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) compliance simple and automated.
Benefits of HydroRecyClean include:
-
The HRC six-step filtration process cleans water down to one micron, at 10 gallons a minute.
-
It captures hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and other chemicals and transforms them into non-leachable substances that can often meet EPA standards for general disposal.
-
The financial benefits to wastewater recovery and reuse in drought-prone regions.
-
Compliance with municipalities that are stepping up enforcement of the Clean Water Act.
