ISTOBAL offers a wide range of water treatment equipment designed to optimise the use and quality of water in vehicle wash facilities. These solutions not only ensure spotless cleaning results but also promote sustainability and environmental responsibility.
Water Recyclers
Biological Plus Recycler MBBR: this compact system uses moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) technology to treat 100% of incoming water, reducing fresh water consumption by up to 92% in automatic washes. It is ideal for installations with high organic loads, such as refrigerated truck or railway vehicle cleaning.
Physical Plus Recycler: capable of recycling up to 92% of used water, this unit treats all wastewater, improving quality by reducing turbidity and organic matter content. It includes pre-disinfection systems to eliminate odors and prevent microorganism growth.
Hydro Cyclone Recycler: uses centrifugal force to separate solid particles from water, allowing reuse in the initial washing phases. It is a compact, low-maintenance system adaptable to various installations.
Reverse Osmosis Systems ISTOBAL’s reverse osmosis systems provide high-quality water for rinsing stages, removing minerals and ensuring a spotless, streak-free finish on vehicles. These systems can treat water with different salinity levels and flow rates, adapting to the specific needs of each facility.
Specialised Ranges:
Discharge Treatment For proper treatment of wastewater before discharge or reuse, ISTOBAL offers:
Hydrocarbon separators: remove oils and greases from water, reducing hydrocarbon presence by 94% and complying with EN 858 standards.
Sludge settlers: retain and accumulate suspended solids such as sand and gravel through gravity sedimentation processes.
Pretreatment and Descaling To ensure equipment durability and optimal wash quality, it is essential to condition the supply water. ISTOBAL’s pretreatment systems include water softeners and various filters that remove impurities and adjust water hardness, preventing issues within the installation.
Sanitisation ISTOBAL provides dosing panels for sanitising products that disinfect stored water, preventing the growth of bacteria, algae, and odors in tanks and throughout the washing system.
By implementing this water treatment equipment, vehicle wash facilities can optimise water use, reduce operating costs, and minimise their environmental impact, contributing to a more sustainable and efficient business model.
