Spring officially begins on March 20th, but
for Floridians, we’ve been enjoying spring-like weather for weeks. If you don’t believe that statement, just ask
anyone up North!
With spring come a lot of general maintenance tasks to
freshen up local businesses. These tasks include everything from exterior
painting, to bulk debris removal and taking care of some chores that may have
slid by the wayside during the cooler Florida winter months, like cleaning your
parking garage.
Are
you Considering Having Your Parking Garage Cleaned?
Did you know the storm water system
enters directly into our lakes, rivers and the oceans without being treated?
Only rainwater should go into the storm water drain. One quart of oil can
contaminate as must as 100,000 gallons of drinking water.
Looking
for a Green Cleaning Solution?
Hydro-cleaning can be completed in
an effective, efficient and environmentally safe way! State-of-the-art equipment ensures that
contaminates are eliminated and the process has received the EPA’s 100%
approval. What makes the hydro-cleaning
process EPA approved is the ability to reclaim, eliminate, and recycle
hazardous waste water run-off so that it does not enter into our storm
system. What’s an added benefit to
hydro-cleaning? It can be done at any site!
What is Hydro-Cleaning?
You’ve probably heard the term pressure washing, well
hydro-cleaning is a form of high pressure cleaning, but it’s unique because
it’s green!
Hydro-cleaning removes dust, oil, and grease that can
not only be tracked out of your parking garage and into your facility, but also
can cause wear on your cement pavement.
But, what makes hydro-cleaning green is that it does not create water
runoff like pressure washing. The water is actually recycled, cleaned, and
reused again!
How
is it Done?
The equipment’s 360 degree turning
radius allows the operator to move around any obstacle. The system has a high
powered engine and an onboard vacuuming system for water reclamation. An
operator can effectively clean a four foot path.
Underneath the cleaning deck unit
are two belt driven rotary arms that rotate at 2800 rpms and 8 hydro jet
nozzles rated at 4000 psi. Water is introduced to the cleaning surface at a
maximum temperature of 220 degrees. While reclaiming the hazardous waste water
and reducing water consumption by 80 percent, the process prevents wastewater
run-off into the storm drains - which is environmentally safe.
Once the operator has performed the
cleaning, contaminated water is transferred in less than 30 seconds from the
hydro-cleaning equipment to treatment tanks. An additive is introduced to the
contaminated water and agitated to separate the hazardous waste. The water is
then filtered and recovered to be used again in the cleaning process.
