Washwater Filtration

Shrink Massive Washwater Disposal Costs

When washing down equipment, companies typically have two options for treating and properly disposing of washwater. The first is to try and treat it onsite using traditional techniques such as carbon filtration. This can result in thousands of pound of waste and a substantial disposal effort required on the part of the facility.

The second option is to outsource the hauling and disposal of washwater to third party providers. The problem here is that this process usually costs about $1.00-$2.00 per gallon to treat the water. When dealing with the thousands of gallons required to clean facility equipment, this cost builds exponentially.

Time for a Third Option. With FaciliPure washwater treatment, MyCelx can provide a turnkey or a custom engineered solution that is installed directly at the facility. This approach has three main advantages:

FaciliPure presents a minimal footprint onsite. Example: 3,000 pounds of oil-contaminated carbon waste = about 20 pounds of waste with FaciliPure.
From 50 gpm to 1000 gpm and beyond, MyCelx technology can handle any flow rate necessary and is not consumed by water.
Third party disposal costs are about $1.00-$2.00 per gallon. With FaciliPure, this cost shrinks to $0.01-$0.02 per gallon.

With FaciliPure, you treat washwater yourself and release directly into the sewer, and can dispose of media easily according to local and federal regulations. And we can characterize the contaminants in you washwater to help you customize the right treatment system to meet your needs.
