Abstract: Vehicle washing apparatus has a platform for supporting a vehicle and a filtering grid covering the platform. A hopper under the grid receives a combination of water after its use in washing the vehicle and waste removed from the vehicle surface by the washing. Larger solid matter is retained on the grid. The fluid combination is pumped from the bottom of the hopper to a clarifier having another hopper. Another pump is used to pump bottom-lying residue from the other hopper into a separator bag formed of mesh material permitting drainage of water from the separator bag into the clarifier while maintaining solids within the separator bag.

Abstract: Apparatus for treating water has a container having a clarification zone, a water entry arrangement for flowing water into the clarification zone, and water exit units mounted to the container for at least partial immersion in the water in the clarification zone. Each water exit unit has a transfer channel for transferring a flow of clarified water from a layer of the water to a predetermined depth in the clarification zone and to direct the received clarified water to a water exit arrangement. A height adjustment mechanism is used for differentially adjusting the heights of the water exit units and their transfer channels relative to the container so as to compensate for any angular tilt of the container owing to the container being deployed on sloping ground.

Abstract: An intermodal container has a roof, floor, side walls and end walls converted for use as a water processing tank, the tank walls reinforced so that the tank can be filled with water. The tank is lines with a flexible liner. On one of the walls aligned apertures are made in the liner and the wall with an inwardly facing flange surface facing into the tank. A process wall is mounted against the flange surface with fastening bolts exposed at the outside of the tank. The process wall is bolted from outside the tank so that a margin of the liner at the aperture is pinched between the process wall and the flange surface to seal it in place. Interface components are mounted and sealed at ports in the process wall to provide inputs to, and outputs from, the tank interior both above and below the design level of water in the tank.

Abstract: A water treatment tank is constructed from several adjoining intermodal containers (ICs). The adjoining ICs are angularly disposed relative to each other so as to surround a tank area. Each IC has a reinforced sidewall defining a tank wall or tank wall part. A bracing structure is attached to ICs end walls at each junction between adjoining ICs. The tank having a liner supported at the sidewalls and covering the ground at the tank area.

Abstract: An intermodal container having a roof, a floor, side walls and end walls is converted for use as a tank for processing water with the roof, floor, side walls and first end wall forming a roof, floor, side walls and one end wall of a tank. The tank has an opposing end wall fixed to the container side walls, all of the tank walls being reinforced to enable the tank to hold water. A flexible liner tub for containing water to be processed is supported by the floor and mounted against the tank walls and has a margin at a top edge. A liner cap mounted to the roof has a margin at its edge with the liner tub and the liner cap overlapping and sealed to one another at their margins.

Abstract: An intermodal container converted to a tank for processing wastewater has a process wall detachable from a hatchway in a wall of the container. The process wall is bolted to an interior facing flange in the container wall and is installed so as to sandwich a gasket and a lip between the process wall and the flange. When the process wall is at a container end wall, first components for interface with water to be treated are sealingly fixed into one part of the process wall designed to be below the level of contained water. Second process components such as those associated with communication cabling, power cabling or piping to be run through the converted container are sealingly fixed into an upper part of the process wall above a design level of contained water to be treated.
