XL Series High-Volume Wash Water Recovery Systems
Automatic Vehicle Washes typically demand a large volume of wash quality water be cleaned to a nominal 10 micron depending on the wash pump requirements which the water must be recycled through. Western Water Products manufactures a series of economical wash water recovery system designed to meet these needs utilizing a higher grade 10 micron Cyclone Separator but unlike the WRX System it does not use a Dual Filtration Pack.
Pan Pacific Environmental also offers a number of options designed to provide pits, trenches and drains, control odor and control sediment buildup in the pits.
Standard XL System does not include Cartridge Filtration Pak shown above or Optional Mud Hopper
The table below shows models up through 120 GPM. For larger sizes are available (consult Pan Pacific):
Series | Maximum GPM Rating | Cyclone Particulate Rating | Post Filtration Particulate Rating | Application |
XL-40 | 40 | Nominal 10 Micron | Use WXL Series | Vehicle washes requiring nominal 10-20 micron wash water. For use with centrifugal pumps. Pumps directly to wash on demand. |
XL-80 | 80 | Nominal 10 Micron | Use WXL Series | |
XL-100 | 100 | Nominal 10 Micron | Use WXL Series |
The WRX Series is available standard with a bank of nominal 10 Micron Cyclone Separator to minimize impact on the “down-stream” Cartridge Filters. A positive particulate size of 10-20 Micron filtration is accomplished through the use of Post Filtration Cartridge Filters rated at up to 120 GPM. Only one filter is utilized at a time, and when that filter becomes dirty or “fouled” a manual Jandy Valve can be rotated 180 degrees to switch flow through the standby clean cartridge filter. Once pressure and flow is removed from the dirty filter, it can be removed for cleaning and reuse.
It should be noted, because nominal 10 Micron Cyclones experience a large pressure drop to accomplish the primary filtration task, cleaned wash water must be deposited into a wash water holding tank and must be re-pressurized back to the wash on demand.
