And it's why they're engineered for efficiency and longevity – offering long-term savings on running costs, expensive cleanups, repairs and manual monitoring.
How Cleanawater can help your workshop
Designed and engineered for workshops, Cleanawater's wastewater treatment solutions meet all water authority requirements.
We carry one of Australia's largest stocks of off-the-shelf wastewater treatment equipment – including oil water separators, water recycling systems, vehicle wash bays, pump stations and chemical control. They're built for minimal reliance on power and consumables – keeping your running costs minimal. And thanks to their efficiency and durability, they require only minimal, hassle-free maintenance.
They're built to complement your infrastructure. And most of our off-the-shelf units come pre-plumbed and pre-wired. That means they're easily retrofitted for zero operational downtime. They're also built with eco-sustainability in mind, helping you meet your Environmental Duty of Care.
With high levels of available stock, you'll benefit from fast delivery times – orders are usually dispatched within 24 hours. We also supply custom-designed solutions to meet your workshop's individual requirements.
It's all supported by Cleanawater's technical assistance – including equipment servicing, inspection and repair.
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 workshop 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 workshop activities.
- Direct all wash bay water, degreasing bays and water separator system.
- If you wash down area is over 20m2; install a first flush diversion system to divert rainwater.
- 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.
- 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 workshop 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.
