Featured case study

New Age Caravans

When New Age Caravans relocated to their new facility in 2013, they needed a wash down and testing facility. Calling on decades of expertise in supplying wash bays, Cleanawater recommended a custom solution to the brief.

Cleanawater's end-to-end process

Step 1

Designing the product plan

Cleanawater’s project engineers will visit your site, mark and assess the parameters. Specific requirements for your project will be accounted for during this phase.

Step 2

Creating 3D models

The team will create conceptual 3D models of the product. We’ll perform predictive flow and performance analysis tests before beginning the manufacturing phase.

Step 3

Manufacturing your system

We begin creating your wastewater treatment system, specifically designed for your mining application.

Step 4

Installation

We’ll install the system at your site. We’ll test all aspects of the product to make sure it performs, all without interrupting your operations.

What to do with your waste water

  • Ensure discharge is to sewer, leach drain, pondage or storage tanks.
  • Check that the sizing of your oil separator system is adequate to undertake all wash down activities.
  • If you wash down area is over 20m2; install a first flush diversion system to divert rainwater.
  • If you are handling large amounts of solids ensure your pit capacity and design is adequate to handle this.
  • Install a floating oil skimmer to compliment your oily water treatment system if you have a large amount of oils present in your waste water.
  • Direct all wash bay water, degreasing bays and workshop floor wash water is directed to an oil water separator system.
  • If connecting to sewerage, check your local trade waste guidelines.
  • Ensure you enter into a maintenance agreement for servicing of your water treatment equipment in accordance with regulations.
  • Only use biodegradable quick break degreasers and detergents.
  • Use only helical rotor or diaphragm pumps to pump wash water through your treatment system.
  • Contact Cleanawater if you have any queries regarding your new or existing wash down bay project.

What not to do with your waste water

  • Do not use traditional solvent based degreasers that do not have quick break properties. These degreasers cause oil and detergents to remain in suspension and not separate through a traditional oil water separator system.
  • Do not dispose of any coolants, acids, caustics or chemicals through the water treatment system, these should be disposed of by licenced contractors.
  • Do not allow wash down water to discharge directly to the stormwater drain.
  • Do not allow contaminated storage areas with oils, grease and coolant run off into the stormwater drains.
