How Water Maze Systems Treat and Recycle Pressure Washer Water Used to Clean Heavy Equipment

This is one of the most common applications for high-pressure cleaning equipment and wastewater treatment systems. Pressure washers are popular in construction yards, rental centers, mining operations, heavy equipment manufacturers, etc., where there is an abundance of mud-splattered heavy equipment.

• Problem: How do you treat wash-water, now laced with oil and grease, when it is caked in all that mud, dirt and clay?
  
  
• Solution: Water Maze approaches this problem from two angles. First, deal with the heavy solids. This is accomplished in the design of the wash pad and pit system. Create a pre-wash pad where the dirt and mud are knocked off with a heavy dose of water at low pressures. The Water Maze Water Blaster (also known as a water cannon), with a flow of 25 GPM, is ideal for knocking off mud and heavy dirt loads. The Water Maze Pit Management System is also effective for odor control. Following pre-treatment, the heavy equipment is moved to a second pad where it is blasted with hot, high-pressure spray from the pressure washer. A variety of Water Maze technologies can be used to treat the resultant oily waste stream, including mechanical filtration, bioremediation and electrocoagulation.
