Our washwater recovery system is environmentally friendly.
To keep our truck washing segment as environmentally friendly as possible, VacuBoom Wash Water Recovery systems are installed in all of our mobile fleet washing trucks.
These VacuBooms are connected to our gas powered industrial vacuums mounted in each wash truck. When the wet vac system is turned on and connected to the placed VacuBoom, the boom tightly seals itself to the surface to collect the wash water. While the wash water is collecting, the vaccum draws the efflunt through small port openings in the boom, and then places the wash water into our truck mounted holding tanks.
This procedure works very well on hard surfaces. When connected to the proper vacuum unit providing a large amount of lift, there is no better method of wash water collection.
Another method of environmental truck washing is the use of a Drive-on Wash Mat. This mat provides a portable containment area which allows containment of any liquid that the pad catches. The Mat is laid on the ground with berms placed around the edges, creating a dike that prevents wash water from exiting onto the ground, and resembles a large children’s swimming pool. The tractor trailer drives onto this mat, is washed, and as the clean unit drives off, a dirty unit drives on. During the wash process the wash water is vacuumed into the holding tank in our truck. The contained wash water can then be extracted and treated. This “Drive on – Drive Off” model allows the user to enter and exit the pad while the berm is inflated. A secondary berm prevents fluids from exiting the pad as the vehicle drives over the berm.
