Automobile Leak Testing System

For clients who have to leak test vehicles to ensure that there has been no water intrusion after manufacturing or modifications, we have developed a complete leak testing system. Custom engineered to fit your facility and testing protocols, our water intrusion / leak testing systems consist of containment pads, test arches, a water supply system and a fully automated filtration system designed to remove contaminants from the test water so that it can be re-used for a period of time prior to disposal or discharge to the sewer. Designed for commercial and industrial applications, all features of the system are manufactured to insure superior performance and minimal operating requirements.

The containment system consists of a water containment pad constructed of steel or heavy-duty PVC.

Sized to fit your facility and test vehicle, these pads feature entrance and exit ramps and drive over and/or pedestrian grating, if desired. Custom-sized water-proof canvas canopies, PVC curtains or Fiberglass walls are installed on the pad to minimize overspray.

The leak test system is built to fit into the containment system so there is no overflow. Depending on the client’s needs, the leak test system will include multiple side and overhead spray arches, vertical spray posts, and undercarriage spray bars, positioned to provide optimal coverage.  The spray test will last for a client-specified period of time and can be easily controlled by a driver with a remote start/stop key fob.

During the water intrusion / leak test, water is automatically pumped from the containment pad through an initial filter to remove any minor solids and contamination. From there, water is pumped into manifolded water management tanks.  The tanks provide enough water storage to permit proper water balancing during the testing period and the water recovery time. The tank system is equipped with level switches to protect the pumps and to automatically provide for fresh water make-up due to evaporation or drive-off losses. From these tanks, water is pumped back to the test arches, when needed.

In most leak test applications, the contaminants are minimal so this pumping and filtration cycle can last a considerable amount of time. When the water becomes too contaminated to re-use, however, the water can be pumped out or processed through additional filtration and discharged to the sewer.

Wall-Mounted Oil Skimmers

Our dual-float, wall-mounted oil skimmers are designed to remove non-emulsified oils from the surface of the water. Skimmers are constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and sturdy enough for any application. The wall-mounted slide pipe allows the skimmer to float vertically but be kept close to the wall so it can be accessed easily. It can be built to accommodate any size sump.

Depending on the application, both skimmers can be custom-built for size and flow rate.

Debris Baskets
Stainless Steel Debris Baskets

Our Wash Bay Solutions Stainless Debris Baskets are designed to both protect the equipment and help control costs associated with solids removal from wash bay sumps. The baskets are for washing applications with an average amount of solids. The baskets fit snugly into the sump and catch all solids from the wash bay before they reach the recycle systems. When the basket is full, personnel remove it and set it to the side to dewater. A second basket can then be placed into the sump and washing can continue. Once the sediment in the first debris basket is de-watered, it can be easily disposed of according to local enforcement agency regulations.

Applications:

  • Heavy Equipment Washing
  • Aircraft Maintenance
  • Truck & Bus Washing
  • Forklift Wash Facilities
  • Military Bases

Benefits:

  • Low Maintenance
  • Heavy Duty Construction
  • Impervious to Non-petroleum Materials
  • Easy to Install

The baskets are constructed of stainless steel plates and stainless mesh. They come in standard sizes or custom sizes to fit into an existing sump. One or two handles on each basket make them easy to move around.

Why Do I Need a Re-Cyke® TWB System?



These complete wash systems are ideal for washing equipment and vehicles at sites without incurring any construction costs, delays, or permanent structures. Used on military bases, construction sites, and at any facility requiring transportability, these cost effective systems can be configured for a wide range of applications and up and running in a few weeks. Recycling wash water also eliminates EPA and local impact fees, reduces sanitary sewer costs, and water restrictions.

How Does the Re-Cyke® TWB System Work?

The complete system consists of a self-contained aboveground wash pad and an enclosed equipment room. The pad includes a 12” high ramped structure capable of handling up to 40 tons/axle and tracked vehicles, an integrated water collection system to isolate solids and divert liquids, and a solids wash-down feature. The enclosed equipment room sits adjacent to the wash pad and contains complete water recycling, high-volume demucking, and high-pressure washing equipment.

As vehicles are cleaned on the pad, the wash/rinse water collects beneath the pad and is transferred to the closed loop recycling system for treatment and reuse so there is no off-site discharging. The solids removed from the vehicle are automatically washed to a collection section for future removal and disposal.

STANDARD FEATURES:

Elevated Wash Pad with Ramp

  • Totally Transportable in Modular Sections
  • Designed for drive-through or in-out operation
  • Heavy steel I-beam support framework
  • Unique fluid/solid separation weirs
