System Integration & Wash Pad Design
Wash Pad Design 1% Slope on Pad Shallow Trench Minimal underground water
Get the solids out... • Filter with the wash pad • Everything dissolves in water. • Settled solids go anaerobic causing odors • Settled solids in a separator or pit collect more TPH, Metals and COD making the disposal most costly. • Keep the solids from entering the system initially. • The less solids that enter the system, the less the user has to remove from the system. LESS MAINTENANCE AND COST!!!!! • Maintenance Instructions to the user is very important!!
Theory of Solids Separation • Three Stage Separator • Capacity = 600 gallons
True to Life Solids Separation • Three Stage Separator • Capacity = 60 gallons
True to Life Solids Separation • Although these separators work there are problems with their use. • Sight unseen • If in ground, the removal of solids becomes difficult so it wont be done. • They harbor biological growth
Logistics • Where are you? • Freeze potential • Rain patterns • Clay or Sand • Covered or uncovered wash pad • Overflow to sanitary sewer or tank
What are you washing & washing off? • Sand, clay, heavily organic soils • Sanitary waste equipment or leachate • Grass/HIP’s • Heavy grease/oil, solvents • Fertilizer • Tank wash outs
System Basics • Gallons per minute • Gallons per hour • Gallons per day • Hours per day demand • Days per week demand • Sanitary sewer availability • Discharge or recycle
Analyze the Condition • Solids content • Free oil • Emulsified oils • BOD/COD loading • Heavy Metals • Detergents & Cleaners
System Design Driven By • Type of Application • Budget restraints • Available space • Treated water goal • Disposal options • Maintenance demand
Site Evaluation Form • It’s about communication • It’s about buy-in (Customer Commitment) • The beginning of the installation history • Good planning • Project guide • Making the form do more for your project
Site Evaluation Form • Electrical Requirements • Voltage • 120, 208, 230, 460 • 1 or 3 phase • Amperage load • Space • Flow rates • Usage level
Site Evaluation Form • Chemicals • Lower water quality • Address application, now • Limit the number of chemicals used • Some uses may be eliminated • Save money with conservation • Discuss & note expected frequency of system cleaning and maintenance
Site Evaluation Form • Learn from previous projects • Take your time with this step • Take digital photos • Typically this is rushed or skipped
Above Ground Wash Pads • 9’ x 18’ • 18’ x 18” • Custom
Automobile Washing WATCH OUT FOR ME!!!
Heavy Equipment Rental • Look for large volumes of solids /Chem • Design the wash pad to filter the solids • Look for chemicals that are used to keep equipment clean during the rental period • Look at each location and inquire about where the equipment is being rented to
Solid Waste • Look for large volumes of solids /Chem • Design the wash pad to filter the solids and floatable trash • Look for chemicals that are used to keep equipment clean • Heavy Biological Loading
