Sanitizing Foggers

Foggers were typically used for sanitation in food and beverage facilities. Today, however, foggers and atomizers are now being used to easily apply disinfectants and sanitizers to hospitals, schools, hotels, airplanes, cruise ships, warehouses and public transit facilities.

Using compressed air, foggers atomize ready-to-use chemical disinfecting solutions and project the fog/mist particles into the air or onto exposed surfaces.

Foggers produce dry to wet fog, and come in range of models and sizes from small hand-held models to portable systems to permanent-mount, inline systems that can project particles up to 25 feet in 8 directions! Let our engineers help you design the optimal fogging system for your facility.

Self-Contained Portable Fogger Cart

Our Portable Fogger Cart is one of our most versatile models – perfect for schools, hospitals, doctor’s offices and hotels. Powered only by a standard 120V electrical connection, this portable, self-contained system comes complete with a quiet on-board compressor, fogger body, hose and thumb-gun on a stainless steel cart. With the thumb-gun, it allows you to deliver chemical fog precisely where you need it.

The system uses compressed air to draw pre-diluted chemical solution from a pail on the cart to the fogger body which atomizes the chemical and projects it as small to medium size “damp” particles at distances up to 15 feet. Fog (mist) fills the air and saturates exposed surfaces, including hard-to-reach areas. Just plug it in and go!

Features

Stainless steel fogger body
120V air compressor
25′ twin-line air/chemical hose with activation ball valves
10 color-coded precision metering tips can refine the particle size by reducing chemical usage
Stainless steel, 4 wheel cart assembly with hose rack
Non-marking tires with stainless steel swivel casters
Stainless steel metering tip holder
Stainless steel construction ensures durability and years of outstanding performance

Portable 2-4 Way Fogger

The Portable 5 Gallon 2-4 Way Fogger is a chemical atomizer that uses compressed air and
venturi action to draw ready-to-use chemical solution from a 5 gallon pail on the cart through a
telescoping mast to the fogger body which atomizes the chemical and projects it as small to
medium size “damp” particles at distances up to 15 feet. Fog (mist) fills the air and saturates
exposed surfaces, including hard-to-reach areas.

Ball valves on two fogger bodies allow for conversion to 2-Way
fogging for narrow areas and the telescoping mast allows for
variable height adjustment up to 80 inches.
You can refine the particle size for your particular application
and manage chemical use by choosing different optional precise
metering tips.

Features

(4) Four polypropylene fogger bodies mounted on adjustable mast
(2) Two air ball valves to control air flow
(2) Two 10′ chemical suction tubes and strainers
(4) Four metering tip holders

Compact Hand-Held Fogger

The Compact Hand-Held Fogger is a chemical atomizer that uses compressed air and venturi
action to draw pre-diluted chemical solution from the attached bottle, atomize the chemical, and
project it as small to medium size “damp” particles at distances up to 15 feet.
It is easy to use! Just fill the bottle with your pre-mixed chemical/disinfectant, connect compressed
air, and press the thumb gun activator. Fog/mist will fill the air and saturate any exposed surfaces,
including hard-to-reach areas. You can refine the particle size and manage chemical use by
choosing the correct precise metering tip for your particular application.

Features

Food processing procedures are as varied as the food produced! The processing and packaging procedures for spaghetti sauce are a lot different from those of sausage, cheese and bread. And, each process produces their own unique waste streams.

That’s where we come in. We can work with your staff and custom-design a comprehensive washing and water treatment system based on your needs.

If you have to wash machinery, piping, conveyors, shelving or tanks, we can help you with pumping and heater packages featuring manual, automated and Variable Frequency Drive controls. A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) system is one of the most cost effective units to run and maintain and allows multiple users at the same time. Different heating packages can be paired with the pumping and pressure washing systems so that you get the proper water temperature for your washing operation. Foaming, chemical injection and ozone disinfection systems can also be added to the washing systems, if required.

We can help you treat the wash water so that it can be properly discharged. If the washing process produces solids, we have a range of solutions to first separate the solids from the wastewater. After the solids are removed, we can process the water through our wastewater treatment systems.

We provide the following equipment:

VFD Controlled wash systems
Hot and Cold Water pressure washers
High efficiency heating systems
Sanitizers and Foaming Systems

Issue: A consulting engineering firm contacted us regarding a wash system for their client that ran numerous grocery distribution centers and warehouses on the West Coast. The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) rule on Sanitary Transportation of Human and Animal Food required their client to wash the interior of every truck entering their facility in order to keep foods safe from contamination during transportation.

They asked if we could help them design a hot water washing system that could handle multiple users at the same time since most of these distribution centers are very large and busy. At any point in time, multiple trucks are being unloaded and loaded as fast as possible.

Solution: In response to their request, we worked with the consulting engineers and designed a very effective sanitary washing package that would ensure compliance with the new rule by combining a high-pressure VFD-controlled pumping system with a high efficiency heating system.

For this application requiring 10 stations producing 4 GPM each simultaneously, we provided two 20 gpm @ 1700 psi pressure washing systems with VFDs and high efficiency heaters.

The VFD system offered substantial operational flexibility since the system will only utilize the power (speed of motor and pump) to match the output demands. We designed each 20 gpm system to service up to 5 users at 4 gpm each. If there is only one user on the system, however, the pump will provide only 5 gpm, and the motor/pump will only turn at 1/5” speed to meet that demand. The high efficiency heaters were integrated with the pumping systems to provide the correct temperature water to comply with the FSMA rule.

In addition to the pumping and heating systems, we also provided hoses, guns, reels and holders so their client had a complete sanitary washing package. The client liked the system so much, they ordered three more systems for other facilities!

Problem: A car dealer moving into a new facility with a limited time lease. The property owner did not want them to cut concrete or substantially alter the property but the dealer needed to be able to wash dozens of cars per week onsite, contain the water and discharge it properly to the sewer.

Solution: For a complete wash system, we recommended installing a SPT-10 Clarifier Oil Water Separator System, a cold water pressure washer with a portable hose reel, and a portable wash containment pad. This allows them to wash as many cars as possible without any major modifications to the property. They will also be able to move the entire system to a new facility at the end of their lease. With their input, we helped them layout the system to maximize their space.

After installation of the pad, however, they noticed the concrete floor slope much slighter than originally thought and that the wash water was not moving off the pad well. This flat slope left his staff working in standing water and the SPT-10 not being able to process the wash water properly.

To improve this drainage issue, our staff developed a low cost under layer for the wash pad which created a slight slope for the water. We then installed this under layer and re-piped the in-take piping for the SPT-10 so the wash water flows freely. The general manager of the facility is very pleased with our systems and service.

Problem: A metals dealer and recycling company had a small wash outside area with a 900 gallon in-ground concrete sump adjacent to it. The sump captured both the wash water and storm water coming off the pad. Contaminants included compressor oil, motor oil, transmission fluid and gasoline.

The company called and asked us for suggestions on how to treat the water before discharging to the sewer. The nearest building to the sump was several hundred feet away and they had very limited area inside it to install an oil water separator.

Solution: This was a perfect application for our transportable equipment rooms. To treat the water, we installed an oil water separator with an electric diaphragm pump in a 20′ long container, our TER-20. Since the client was located in a northern climate, we added insulation and a heating system to the TER-20 to guard against freezing issues.

We placed the TER-20 on a pad adjacent to the in-ground sump and it took less than a day to hook up all of the electrical and plumbing lines to make the system operational.

Using the TER-20 saved the client building costs and provided additional storage space. It also allows them the flexibility to move the entire oil water separator system to a different facility when needed.

A national railroad freight company called and requested a complete overhaul of their 40-year old locomotive wash. This 1970’s era locomotive wash system consisted of three different wash arches – a wetting arch to wet the locomotive, a second arch for soap application and washing, and a third arch with an acid wash for surface brightening.

The wash system was overhauled with to improve the following metrics:

Improve the wetting stage process by increasing both water volume and pressure as well as the nozzle design to apply the wetting water on the locomotive; and
Improve the soap application process by redesigning the nozzles’ flow patterns and volumes, increasing total flow to the nozzles, and finally adding additional pressure the process.

We started the overhaul process by removing the old soap and rinse pumps as well as the associated wiring and conduit. All of the existing control panels and associated conduit and wiring were also removed. Some equipment was retired in place to reduce demolition, re-piping and re-wiring costs. We then installed the following new equipment:

Locomotive wash bay control panel — Locomotive wash bay stainless steel control panel

Control Panel – A new stainless steel control panel was mounted, which replaced the existing four electrical panels. New conduit and heavier wire was also installed to bring it up to existing codes. The dual electric eyes were re-wired back into the new panel. New liquid level floats were installed in the storage tanks to provide both fluid level control, as well, as provide new a pump shut down safety, in the event of a low water condition in the water storage tanks.

Wetting Pump – A new 15 hp, cast iron pump was installed to supply water to the wetting arch. New, larger PVC piping as well as new heavier electrical wire was installed through new conduit to supply the proper amperage for the new higher horsepower pump.

Soap Pump – A new 15 HP stainless steel pump was installed for the new wash soap arch. New heavier wire was pulled through new conduit to supply the proper amperage needed for the new pump. The new pump was plumbed into the existing PVC piping in the pump house.

Wash Tunnel Nozzles – The existing nozzles could no longer be utilized due to flow and pressure differences from the new pumps. The existing nozzles were removed and replaced with a set of brass nozzles. A total of 42 new nozzles were installed in all three arches.

Rinse System Pump – The existing 100 hp motor and pump were removed and a new 25 hp motor and pump was set in place, aligned, and bolted to the exiting pump base.

Rinse System Control System – A new PLC-based control system housed in a stainless steel panel was installed and integrated with the existing control wires. New wiring was installed from the original motor controller system to the new control panel.

Rinse System Nozzles – The original nozzles, which were sized for the flow from the one hundred horsepower pump, were removed and new brass nozzles were installed.

The entire overhaul took less than a week to install and brought the whole wash system into the 21^st century! The client has been very happy with its performance.

New CF-CP Media (Cross-Flow/Corrugated Plate) Oil Water Separator Media — Image of our New CF-CP Media (Cross-Flow/Corrugated Plate)
Oil Water Separator Media

In many washing applications, solids are a main component of the washing process. Heavy solids such as rocks and muck are often washed off and fall onto the wash pad where they can be easily removed. Other, finer settleable and suspended solids, however, often become entrained in the oily wash wastewater. Separating these settleable or suspended solids from the oily wash water is critical so that they do not clog the separator media and interfere with the oil water separation process.

To insure our oil water separators work well in a high solids environment without clogging, we have introduced a new coalescing media with a corrugated, cross-flow design.

This new media design is both unique and simple. As the water enters the separator, the flow is directed evenly across the surface of the media plates. The solids are captured and fall to the trough area of the corrugated plates below and the oils rise and stick to the trough area of the plates above. This design maintains laminar flow throughout the media so the oil and solids do not remix. Since the plates are smooth, the solids slide down the corrugated plates to the hopper area where they can be easily removed. Separated oil flows upwards along the plates to the top of the separator where it can be removed.

Available in stainless steel, PVC, HPVC and polypropylene
Plate spacing of ½”, ¾” or 1 ¼” depending on application
Supplied in blocks for easy installation and removal

By coupling high efficiency separation with easy maintenance, this new media will ensure your oil water separator
operates at peak performance for years to come.

Oil Water Separator Forklift Solution — SPT Clarifier Oil Water Separator used for the Forklift Application Solution

Issue: A major forklift manufacturer had an old oil water separator which had failed. The source of the water was a combination of coolants, wash waters, mop waters, as well as a pressure washer water. Over a four-quarter period, the company’s routine certified quarterly wastewater testing results showed fat, oils, and grease levels of 350 to 1270 mg/l discharging to the sewer, which was well in excess of the local limit of 100 mg/l.

Solution: The following year, the company purchased a Wash Bay Solutions SPT-10 to replace the existing separator. Over the next four quarters, the FOG in the wastewater averaged 14.75 mg/l. The actual test results were: 21, 27, 0, and 11mg/l.

Industrial Manufacturing Plant Fat and Grease (mg/I) vs. Time Oil Water Separator replaced with Wash Bay Solutions SPT System

Due to the unique design of the SPT unit, it has more opportunity to separate oil and grease than the typical oil water separator. While the SPT is not designed to break an emulsion, due it’s multiple compartments, it can trap and hold back some emulsions. Since it introduction, the SPT has been shipped to many different countries throughout the world. Additionally, many Fortune 500 companies have standardized the unit in their facilities, plants, and processes.
