The Environmental Benefits of Water Recycling in Industrial Cleaning

In today’s rapidly changing world, implementing sustainable methods of reducing water scarcity is more crucial than ever – recycling and reusing wastewater is an excellent option.?In this article, we will discuss all the benefits of water recycling.

Wastewater recycling systems make it possible to filter and continue using water that would otherwise be contaminated and possibly dumped into the local environment. If not discharged on-site, the wastewater must be transported to a wastewater treatment plant.

What Is Wastewater Recycle & Reuse?

While recycling is generally applied to aluminum cans, glass bottles, and newspapers, water can also be recycled. Water recycling is reusing treated wastewater for beneficial purposes such as agricultural and landscape irrigation, industrial processes, toilet flushing, and replenishing a groundwater basin (referred to as groundwater recharge).?

The term wastewater recycling is generally used synonymously with wastewater reclamation and wastewater reuse.

Water recycling offers resources and financial savings. Wastewater treatment can be tailored to meet your specific needs based on regulations and how you plan to reuse the water.

Recycling and reusing your water onsite saves the hassle of transporting wastewater and helps you comply with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. For example, capturing and reusing wash water when cleaning your heavy equipment and vehicles.

Water reclamation systems provide a way to clean and reuse wastewater, thus creating more environmentally sustainable water usage. The filtration process differs depending on location, desired outcome, and government regulations.

An excellent option for businesses cleaning heavy equipment is to use a closed-loop wash system.

What is a Closed-Loop Wash System?

A zero-discharge wash system (or closed-loop wash system) is designed to recycle, filter and reuse the water that is used by a pressure washer or steam cleaner. This system is different from the other Wastewater Treatment Systems because it allows the user to re-use the water by pumping it back to the pressure washer.

The wash rack is completely contained, allowing you to wash just about any heavy equipment or parts without running into EPA Clean Water Act Regulations because you reclaim all the water you use. Closed-loop wash racks can be permanent concrete structures, but many of them are above-ground and portable.

As you wash your heavy equipment or parts, the wastewater goes into the wash rack drain, which instantly sends it through a system that treats it, filters it, and pumps it back to you as clean water that you can continue to use for washing equipment. Some systems biologically treat and filter out grease, grime, oil, and other gunk that is likely to collect on vehicles and other heavy equipment.?

Using a zero-discharge wash system saves water, and money, and keeps the area where you perform heavy equipment maintenance clean. You also preserve the surrounding environment by preventing your washing procedure from contaminating the worksite.

Other methods of heavy equipment washing may need harsh chemicals to be thorough enough to do the job and may not have a method of removing those chemicals from the water. Our closed-loop wash racks, are a much safer alternative for you and your employees to use when cleaning equipment.
