Trailer Mounted Hydroblaster with Waste Water Recovery and Recycling

This Hydroblaster trailer mounted high pressure hot water washer includes a fresh water supply tank and a wash water recovery and treatment system. The wash water is collected on fabric mats and pumped to the onboard filtration system. Solids settle to the bottom of the cone bottom collection tanks while oil floats to the top where it is removed. The wash water can be pumped through a 5-micron filter for reuse by the Hydroblaster.

Fabric rail mats are stored in an onboard tool box. The three mats are deployed; one between the rails and the other on each side. The mats are magnetically secured to the rails and tied to ground stakes. The perimeter berms are inflated with an onboard battery operated inflate/deflate tool. As wash water collects it is pumped from the rail mats to the collection tanks. Treated wash water can be used for cleaning or simply retained for later disposal.

The Filtration system features cone bottom tanks and bag filter that are simple to empty and clean by opening the high capacity dump valves located on the curb side of the trailer frame.
