  • Patent number: 8480888
    Abstract: A system and process for continuously and immediately removing contaminants from wastewater and treating wastewater, where the wastewater is treated to supply fluid that can be reused in the cleaning system or discharged safely into the environment is disclosed. The system and method comprises one or more pumping means for circulating and recirculating fluids captured or collected by the system to one or more of the processes in the system, such as wash water applications or further treatment cycles. According to one embodiment, the wastewater is transported through purification sections of the device. Depending on the system used, these sections could include several of the following: pretreatment to remove debris and certain heavy solids; treatment by methods such as a conductivity solution injection system and/or electrolytic coagulation system, a polymer injection system, and a inline mixer for mixing the polymer in the wastewater stream; and an ozone treatment system.

  • Patent number: 7943040
    Abstract: A system and process for removing contaminants from wastewater where the wastewater is treated into a cleaned water that can be reused or discharged into the environment. The wastewater is transported through purification sections, depending on the system including several of the following: pre-treatment via screening and weirs to remove debris and certain heavy solids; a second pretreatment via a sump; strainer; conductivity solution injection system and electrolytic coagulation system; polymer injection system; inline mixers for mixing the polymer in the wastewater stream; retention tubes for providing residence time for the polymer to react in the wastewater stream; a multi-stage separation system comprised of a plurality of water separation compartments for consecutively separating contaminants from the wastewater stream by removing contaminants that float and heavy contaminants that settle to the bottom; and an ozone treatment system.

  • Publication number: 20090188535
    Abstract: A wash pad and wash fluid containment system upon which items such as vehicles or equipment are positioned and supported for collecting wastewater occasioned when washing the items, the system having various combinations of the following: a central trench, left and right side wash pad sections positioned on opposite sides of the central trench, the left and right side wash pad sections preferably being of identical configuration and interchangeable, each side wash pad section having a sloped surface for directing wastewater toward the central trench; a partial side wall enclosure assembly disposed about an outer perimeter of three sides of the wash pad; integrated pressure washer system mounted on the rear wall; a retractable cover assembly including a tarp wrapped on a roller mounted on the rear wall; side wall extension system extending above the side walls including a frame and tarp sections hanging on the frame.
