Patented Recycle Water System
The patented closed-loop Geomat manages the large amounts of wastewater resulting from vehicle and other equipment washing by recycling and cleaning the wastewater, piping it back for reuse. A closed loop system requires the dirty water to be pumped out by a licensed hauler periodically.
Closed-Loop Operation
The car / truck is driven onto the standard 10' x 20' GEOMAT® surface. (Compressed air pump systems will need manual switch type activation, sump basin ejectors are automatic) It is then washed and rinsed using the pressure washer and industry accepted chemicals & procedures. Upon completion, it is driven off the wash area. (Compressed air pump systems can be equipped with an auto shut off timer).
Components of our closed-loop system
Aluminum framed, patented waste water filtration and containment system.
Waste water pumping system options.
A- Compressed air operated (non surface penetrating).
B- Sump basin ejector (surface penetrating)
Waste water filtering / recycling tank system.
High pressure, low consumption pressure washer.
requirements for our system:
For a standard Geomat closed-loop system the location will need three dedicated 20 amp power circuits.
1 for the air compressor pump or sump basin pump system
1 for the pressure washer
1 for the interior upholstery vacuum (usually already in place)
A somewhat level surface (most inconsistency's can be field corrected). Over head protection from rain (to prevent introduction of unwanted water). Access for a recovery truck within 100' to run their suction hose.
Service and Maintenance:
The patented Geomat system is designed to contain and increase the longevity of the water being used. Due to overspray while washing and water being carried off the wash area by the car / truck. The tanks may need minimal replenishing from time to time. This is done by connecting a standard flexible hose to the provided port.
Filters are visually inspected daily for sediment and can be easily removed and cleaned.
Upon determining the water is no longer suitable for washing, the tanks will be pumped and cleaned by a licensed hauler, disposed of and manifested according to local and federal EPA guidelines. The tanks will then be refilled and ready to be used again.
The patented Geomat filtering layers need to be cleaned annually (dependent on usage). This is done by a Geomat technician and all residual waste and sediment is disposed and manifested according to local and federal EPA guidelines.
Closed Loop / Hybrid Overview
The patented hybrid system includes the benefits of the closed loop system while having the ability to discharge the recycled water to the sanitary sewer when it has become too dirty to use any more. A regular closed loop system would require the dirty water to be pumped out by a licensed hauler periodically. Both systems facilitate water conservation as well as real savings to your vehicle washing operations in terms of water bills.
